Genesis 10:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

The posterity of Ham were disposed into the parts south from Babel, both in Asia and Africa. See 1 Chronicles 4:40 Psalms 105:27. Cush was father both of the Ethiopians and the Arabians; who, as it seems, sent forth a colony from themselves more eastward, even near to India. See Genesis 2:13 2 Kings 19:9 Job 28:19 Jeremiah 13:23, Jeremiah 46:9. Mizraim was father of the Egyptians, who are generally known in Scripture by that name. Of Phut sprung the Libyans, among whom is the river Put, and the Moors. See Jeremiah 46:9 Ezekiel 27:10, Ezekiel 30:5, Nahum 3:9. Canaan was the cursed parent of that accursed race of the Canaanites, well known in Scripture, Genesis 10:15.
