The Lehabim are identified as descendants of Mizraim, who was one of the sons of Ham, the son of Noah. This places the Lehabim among the various groups that emerged after the Flood, as humanity began to repopulate the earth.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>· <b><a href="/genesis/10-13.htm">Genesis 10:13-14</a> :</b> "Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites."<br><br>In this passage, the Lehabim are listed among the descendants of Mizraim, indicating their origin from the region associated with ancient Egypt. The genealogical listing suggests that the Lehabim were part of the early post-Flood civilizations that spread across the ancient Near East and North Africa.<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b><br><br>The name "Lehabim" is often associated with the ancient Libyans, a group that inhabited the region west of Egypt. This connection is supported by the similarity in the names and the geographical proximity of the regions. The Lehabim, therefore, are thought to have been part of the broader ethnic and cultural groups that lived in North Africa.<br><br>The identification of the Lehabim with the Libyans is further supported by historical records and ancient inscriptions that mention the Libu or Libyans as a people who interacted with the Egyptians. These interactions included both trade and conflict, as the Libyans were known to have engaged in various military encounters with the Egyptian dynasties.<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Significance:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the mention of the Lehabim in the Table of Nations serves to illustrate the fulfillment of God's command to Noah and his descendants to "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth" (<a href="/genesis/9.htm">Genesis 9:1</a>). The spread of Noah's descendants into various regions, including North Africa, demonstrates the diversity and expansion of human civilization as ordained by God.<br><br>The genealogical records in <a href="/bsb/genesis/10.htm">Genesis 10</a> also highlight the interconnectedness of different peoples and cultures, all tracing their origins back to the sons of Noah. This interconnectedness underscores the biblical theme of a shared human ancestry and the unity of mankind under God's creation.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>While the biblical text provides limited information about the Lehabim, their inclusion in the genealogical records of <a href="/bsb/genesis/10.htm">Genesis 10</a> affirms their role in the early post-Flood history of humanity. As descendants of Mizraim, the Lehabim are part of the broader narrative of the spread of nations and the fulfillment of God's purposes for humanity.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Lehabim</span><p>flames; inflamed; swords<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Lehabim</span><p>(<i>fiery, flaming</i>), occurring only in (<a href="/genesis/10-13.htm">Genesis 10:13</a>) the name of a Mizraite people or tribe.
