Genesis 10:14
βAnd Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 10Meaning
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.
