Genesis 10:13 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, Mizraim begat Ludim - Supposed to mean the inhabitants of the Mareotis, a canton in Egypt, for the name Ludim is evidently the name of a people.

Anamim - According to Bochart, the people who inhabited the district about the temple of Jupiter Ammon.

Lehabim - The Libyans, or a people who dwelt on the west of the Thebaid, and were called Libyo-Egyptians.

Naphtuhim - Even the conjectures can scarcely fix a place for these people. Bochart seems inclined to place them in Marmarica, or among the Troglodytae.
