One of the ten doomed tribes of Canaan (Ge 15:19-21). Six including Perizzite are enumerated Ex 3:8,17. The Canaanite and Perizzite are joined in Ge 13:7.

Bezek was their stronghold, and Adoni-bezek their chief (Jg 1:4-5), in the S. of Palestine, also on the western sides of Mount Carmel (Jos 17:15-18). Reduced to bond service by Solomon (1Ki 9:20; 2Ch 7:7). The Hebrew perezot, "unwalled country villages" or "towns," were inhabited by peasants engaged in agriculture like the Arab fellahs (De 3:5; 1Sa 6:18; Eze 38:11; Zec 2:4).
