The Lord Will

Genesis 10:14

β€œAnd Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 10

Meaning

The line of Mizraim continues through Pathrusim, Casluhim, and Caphtorim, with the Philistines associated in the genealogy.

Read carefully

The genealogy preserves an ancient relationship among peoples; textual and historical questions about the Philistines should be handled without claiming more precision than the verse supplies.

Reflection

The chapter remembers peoples through kinship and place, encouraging careful reading rather than using ancient genealogies as shortcuts for modern identity claims.
