Original sentence: Genesis indicates that the "Hittites" (sons of Heth) were descendants of Ham through his son, Canaan.However, it is uncertain, and there has been some debate, as to whether this designation was intended to signify any or all of: 1) the original Hattites of Hatti, 2) their Indo-European conquerors (Nesili), who retained the name "Hatti" for Central Anatolia, and are today referred to as the "Hittites" (the subject of this article), or 3) a Canaanite group, who may or may not have been related to either or both of the Anatolian groups, and who also may or may not be identical with the later Neo-Hittites.Some scholars, on the basis of the Documentary Hypothesis which holds that the Hebrew Bible was redacted well after the fall of the Hittite Empire, assume these Biblical references may be to the "Neo-Hittite" (Luwian) polities.The Biblical Hittites are said to be a great power who dwell "in the mountains" and "towards the north" of Canaan
Edited sentence: The Table of Nations in the bible's book of Genesis describes the "Hittites" (sons of Heth) as descendants of Ham through his son, Canaan.The Table of Nations is a very late addition to Genesis, dating from no earlier than the 6th century BC, and is therefore of no relevance to any discussion of the ancient Hittites
