'Country' in the Bible

Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country:

Amalek dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan."
