Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Naphtuchim, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to genealogical records in the Old Testament.

Usage: The term Naphtuchim is used in the context of genealogical records in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Genesis.

Context: Naphtuchim is a proper noun referring to a group of people listed among the descendants of Mizraim, the son of Ham, in the Table of Nations. This genealogical record is found in Genesis 10:13-14, where the Naphtuchim are mentioned as one of the offspring of Mizraim, alongside other groups such as the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, and Pathrusites. The Naphtuchim are part of the broader narrative that outlines the spread of nations and peoples following the Great Flood. The specific identity and historical location of the Naphtuchim remain uncertain, as they are not mentioned elsewhere in the biblical text. Some scholars suggest that they may have been a tribe or clan within ancient Egypt, possibly located in the region of the Nile Delta. The mention of the Naphtuchim in the genealogical list serves to illustrate the diversity and extent of the descendants of Ham, particularly through Mizraim, who is traditionally associated with the Egyptian civilization.
