Mizraim
Mizraim (; cf. ) is the Hebrew and Aramaic name for the land of Egypt and its people. Mizraim - king of Egypt Linguistic analysis '' Mizraim'' is the Hebrew cognate of a common Semitic source word for the land now known as Egypt. It is similar to '' Miṣr'' in modern Arabic, '' Misri'' in the 14th century B.C. Akkadian Amarna tablets, '' Mṣrm'' in Ugaritic, ''Mizraim'' in Neo-Babylonian texts, and ''Mu-ṣur'' in neo-Assyrian Akkadian (as seen on the Rassam cylinder). To this root is appended the dual suffix ''-āyim'', perhaps referring to the "two Egypts": Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. This word is similar in pronunciation and spelling to the Hebrew words '' matsór'' and '' meitsár'', meaning literally "siege" and " strait, distress" respectively, and may carry those connotations to Hebrew speakers. Biblical accounts According to Genesis 10, Mizraim, son of Ham was the younger brother of Cush and elder brother of Phut whose families together made up the Hamite bra ...

Ham (son Of Noah)
Ham (in ), according to the Table of Nations in the Book of Genesis, was the second son of Noah and the father of Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan. Ham's descendants are interpreted by Josephus and others as having populated Africa. The Bible refers to Egypt as "the land of Ham" in Psalm 78:51; 105:23, 27; 106:22; 1 Chronicles 4:40. Etymology Since the 17th century, a number of suggestions have been made that relate the name ''Ham'' to a Hebrew word for "burnt", "black" or "hot", to the Egyptian word '' ḥm'' for "servant" or the word '' ḥm'' for "majesty" or the Egyptian word '' kmt'' for "Egypt". A 2004 review of David Goldenberg's ''The Curse of Ham: Race and Slavery in Early Judaism, Christianity and Islam'' (2003) states that Goldenberg "argues persuasively that the biblical name Ham bears no relationship at all to the notion of blackness and as of now is of unknown etymology." In the Bible indicates that Noah became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth at t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Casluhim
The Casluhim or Casluhites () were an ancient Egyptian people mentioned in the Bible and related literature. Biblical accounts According to the Book of Genesis () and the Books of Chronicles (), the Casluhim were descendants of Mizraim (Egypt) son of Ham, out of whom originated the Philistines. Archaeology The Egyptian form of their name is preserved in the inscriptions of the Temple of Kom Ombo as the region name ''Kasluḥet''. In the Aramaic ''Targum''s their region is called ''Pentpolitai'' understood to be derived from the Greek ''Pentapolis'' which locates the area as the north west in what is now the Cyrenaica region of Libya.''Navigating the Bible'', World ORT, 2000, commentary ''Pathrusim'', ''Casluhim'' Another name for their region is ''Pekosim'' used in Bereshit Rabbah 37.

Genesis 10
The Generations of Noah, also called the Table of Nations or ''Origines Gentium'', is a genealogy of the sons of Noah, according to the Hebrew Bible ( Genesis ), and their dispersion into many lands after the Flood, focusing on the major known societies. The term 'nations' to describe the descendants is a standard English translation of the Hebrew word "''goyim''", following the 400 CE Latin Vulgate's "''nationes''", and does not have the same political connotations that the word entails today. The list of 70 names introduces for the first time several well-known ethnonyms and toponyms important to biblical geography, such as Noah's three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, from which 18th-century German scholars at the Göttingen school of history derived the race terminology Semites, Hamites, and Japhetites. Certain of Noah's grandsons were also used for names of peoples: from Elam, Ashur, Aram, Cush, and Canaan were derived respectively the Elamites, Assyrians, Arameans, Cush ...

Pathrusim
Pathrusim together with Casluhim were descendants of Mizraim (i.e., Egypt) according to the genealogies in Genesis, who inhabited Pathros (i.e., Upper Egypt). In Saadia Gaon's Judeo-Arabic translation of the Pentateuch, the '' Sa'idi people'' (i.e. the people of Upper Egypt) are listed in the position of the Casluhim in , while ''Albiyim'' is listed in the position of Pathrusim, however the ordering of Casluhim and Pathrusim sometimes vary in translations ''Navigating the Bible'', World ORT, 2000, commentary ''Pathrusim'', ''Casluhim'' and the mainstream understanding is that it is the Pathrusim who are the Sahidic people and the Casluhim the people of eastern Libya. In the Book of Jasher, the Pathrusim and Casluhim intermarried resulting in the Pelishtim, Azathim, Gerarim, Githim and Ekronim.

Lehabim
This list contains tribes or other groups of people named in the Bible of minor notability, about whom either nothing or very little is known, aside from any family connections. A Accaba, descendants of For the descendants of "Accaba" (1 Esdras 5:30, Revised Version), see the entry for Hagab. Agaba, descendants of For the "Agaba" of 1 Esdras 5:30, see Hagab. Ahumai Ahumai, according to 1 Chronicles 4:2, was the name of a clan within the Tribe of Judah. The name "Ahuman" appears only in this verse of the Hebrew Bible, and manuscripts of the Greek Septuagint read ''Acheimei'', ''Achimai'' or ''Achiman.'' The ''Encyclopaedia Biblica'' raises the possibility that the correct reading is "Ahiman" rather than "Ahumai." Apharsachites A company of the colonists whom the Assyrian king planted in Samaria ().

Anamim
__NOTOC__ Anamim (, ''‘Ănāmīm'') is, according to the Bible, either a son of Ham's son Mizraim or the name of a people descending from him. Biblical scholar Donald E. Gowan describes their identity as "completely unknown." The name should perhaps be attached to a people in North Africa, probably in the surrounding area of Egypt. Medieval biblical exegete, Saadia Gaon, identified the Anamim with the indigenous people of Alexandria, in Egypt.

Ludim
Ludim () is the Hebrew term for a people mentioned in Jeremiah and Ezekiel. In the Biblical ''Table of Nations'' Genesis 10:13 they were descended from Mizraim. The biblical scholar Victor P. Hamilton believes that the available evidence "suggests" that the Ludim are the Lydians. According to Josephus, their land was in Libya which was west of Egypt near the tribes of Phut in the land of the Moors towards the extreme west of Africa and the Atlantic Ocean. Pliny in his natural history mentions the river Laud along south of the Atlas Mountains near the river Fut (Phut). Medieval biblical exegete Saadia Gaon, identifies the Ludim with ''Tanisiin'', and which R. Yosef Qafih thought may have been referring to the inhabitants of Tunis. These Ludim should not be confused with another group who were said to descend from Lud, son of Shem, son of Noah. Ludim is sometimes thought to be a scribal error for ''Lubim'', in reference to Libya Libya, officially the State of Liby ...

Phut
Phut or Put ( ''Pūṭ''; Septuagint Greek ''Phoud'') is the third son of Ham (one of the sons of Noah) in the biblical Table of Nations ( Genesis ; cf. 1 Chronicles ). The name Put (or Phut) is used in the Bible for Ancient Libya, but some scholars propose the Land of Punt known from Ancient Egyptian annals. Historical records Epiphanius writes: "Thus Mistrem was allotted Egypt, Cush, Aethiopia, Put, Axum, Ragman and Sabteka and edan, also called Judad the region bordering on Garama." Josephus writes: "Phut also was the founder of Libya, and called the inhabitants Phutites (''Phoutes''), from himself: there is also a river in the country of Moors which bears that name; whence it is that we may see the greatest part of the Grecian historiographers mention that river and the adjoining country by the appellation of Phut (''Phoute''): but the name it has now has been by change given it from one of the sons of Mezraim, who was called Lybyos."

Cush (Bible)
Cush or Kush ( ''Kūš''; ), according to the Hebrew Bible, was the oldest son of Ham (son of Noah), Ham and a grandson of Noah. He was the brother of Mizraim, Phut, and Canaan (son of Ham), Canaan. Cush was the father of Nimrod. Cush is traditionally considered the ancestor of the "Land of Cush", an ancient territory believed to have been located near the Red Sea. Cush is identified in the Bible with the Kingdom of Kush or ancient Aethiopia. The Cushitic languages are named after Cush. Identification Cush is a Hebrew name that is possibly derived from ''Kash'', the Egyptian name of Upper Nubia and later of the Nubian kingdom at Napata, known as the Kingdom of Kush. Alternatively the biblical name may be a mistranslation of the Mesopotamian city of Kish (Sumer), Kish.David M. Goldenberg (2003), ''The Curse of Ham: Race and Slavery in Early Judaism, Christianity, and Islam'', p. 18. The form ''Kush'' appears in Egyptian records as early as the reign of Mentuhotep II (21st centu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
