* They were descendants of Hams son Canaan and so were one of the many people groups who were also known as “Canaanites.”
* God promised the Israelites that he would help them defeat the Girgashites and other Canaanite people groups.
* Like all the Canaanite peoples, the Girgashites worshiped false gods and did immoral things as part of that worship.
