Footnotes

  1. 46 Mizraim is the Hebrew name for Egypt (cf. ).
  2. 47 Heb “fathered.”
  3. 48 The Ludites were African tribes west of the Nile Delta.
  4. 49 The Anamites lived in North Africa, west of Egypt, near Cyrene.
  5. 50 The Lehabites are identified with the Libyans.
  6. 51 The Naphtuhites lived in Lower Egypt (the Nile Delta region).
  7. 52 The Pathrusites are known in Egyptian as P-to-reshi; they resided in Upper Egypt.
  8. 53 The Casluhites lived in Crete and eventually settled east of the Egyptian Delta, between Egypt and Canaan.
  9. 54 Several commentators prefer to reverse the order of the words to put this clause after the next word, since the Philistines came from Crete (where the Caphtorites lived). But the table may suggest migration rather than lineage, and the Philistines, like the Israelites, came through the Nile Delta region of Egypt. For further discussion of the origin and migration of the Philistines, see D. M. Howard, “Philistines,” Peoples of the Old Testament World, 232.
  10. 55 The Caphtorites resided in Crete, but in Egyptian literature Caphtor refers to “the region beyond” the Mediterranean.
  11. 56 Heb “fathered.”
  12. 57 Sidon was the foremost city in Phoenicia; here Sidon may be the name of its founder.
  13. 58 Some see a reference to “Hittites” here (cf. ), but this seems unlikely. See the note on the phrase “sons of Heth” in .
  14. 59 The Jebusites were the Canaanite inhabitants of ancient Jerusalem.
  15. 60 Here Amorites refers to smaller groups of Canaanite inhabitants of the mountainous regions of Palestine, rather than the large waves of Amurru, or western Semites, who migrated to the region.
  16. 61 The Girgashites are an otherwise unknown Canaanite tribe, though the name is possibly mentioned in Ugaritic texts (see G. J. Wenham, Genesis [], 1:).
  17. 62 The Hivites were Canaanite tribes of a Hurrian origin.
  18. 63 The Arkites lived in Arka, a city in Lebanon, north of Sidon.
  19. 64 The Sinites lived in Sin, another town in Lebanon.
  20. 65 The Arvadites lived in the city Arvad, located on an island near the mainland close to the river El Kebir.
  21. 66 The Zemarites lived in the town Sumur, north of Arka.
  22. 67 The Hamathites lived in Hamath on the Orontes River.
