Gen 10:14

10:14 Pathrusim. Inhabitants of Pathros in Upper or southern Egypt.

Casluhim. Their identification is uncertain.

Philistines. Not one of the seventy nations, but mentioned parenthetically as another bitter foe of Israel. The Philistines, one of the Sea Peoples, came to Egypt by way of Crete (Caphtor, Amos 9:7), before settling in Palestine. The connection here with Egypt is apparently geographical rather than genealogical (ch. 10 note).

Caphtorim. Inhabitants of Crete.
