The Perizzites

The Perizzites lived in unwalled villages — symbolic of vulnerability and lack of protection. They represent the family, which when weak or neglected, exposes society to collapse.

Modern-Day Interpretation

This sphere includes all who work to build, protect, and nurture families, such as:

  • Family counselors and therapists

  • Child protection workers

  • Educators shaping the moral foundation of young children

  • Community caregivers supporting orphans, widows, and the elderly

Narrative

Strong nations are built on strong families. In the slums, many children grow up without stable homes, parental love, or protection. The Perizzites remind us that family must be rebuilt and fortified, because it is the first school of identity, discipline, and love.
