The Ludites are believed to be a people group associated with the region of Lydia in Asia Minor, though some scholars suggest they may have been located in North Africa. This connection highlights the expansive influence of Egypt in ancient times, as it had interactions with various neighboring regions. The mention of Mizraim as the progenitor of the Ludites underscores the interconnectedness of ancient civilizations and the spread of peoples and cultures.<p><b>The Anamites</b><br>The Anamites are a lesser-known group, and their exact historical and geographical identity remains uncertain. Some suggest they may have been located in the region of Libya or North Africa. The inclusion of the Anamites in this genealogical record emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the Table of Nations, which seeks to account for the origins of various peoples known to the ancient Israelites. This reflects the biblical theme of God's sovereignty over all nations and peoples.<p><b>The Lehabites</b><br>The Lehabites are often associated with the Libyans, a people known to have inhabited the region west of Egypt. In ancient times, Libya was a significant neighbor to Egypt, and interactions between these regions were common. The Lehabites' mention in the genealogy highlights the historical connections between Egypt and its western neighbors. This connection is also seen in other biblical texts, such as <a href="/ezekiel/30-5.htm">Ezekiel 30:5</a>, where Libya is mentioned in the context of God's judgment on Egypt and its allies.<p><b>The Naphtuhites</b><br>The Naphtuhites are another group linked to Egypt, though their precise identity is not well-documented. Some scholars suggest they may have been an Egyptian tribe or clan. The mention of the Naphtuhites in this genealogical list serves to further illustrate the diversity of peoples that descended from Mizraim, reflecting the complex ethnic and cultural landscape of the ancient Near East. This diversity is a testament to the fulfillment of God's promise to multiply the descendants of Noah's sons, as seen in <a href="/genesis/9.htm">Genesis 9:1</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/mizraim.htm">Mizraim</a></b><br>Mizraim is often identified with Egypt in the Bible.
