A variety of proposals have been made, but beyond the references in the Bible to Hivites in the land of Canaan, no consensus has been reached about their precise historical identity.
Berbagai usulan telah diajukan, tapi di luar catatan Alkitab tidak ada catatan lain mengenai orang Hewi di tanah Kanaan, sehingga tidak bisa dicapai konsensus mengenai identitas sejarah mereka secara tepat.
