Usage: The term "Lehabim" refers to a people group mentioned in the genealogies of the Bible. It is often associated with the descendants of Mizraim, who was a son of Ham, one of Noah's sons. The Lehabim are traditionally understood to be an ancient people, possibly linked to the region of North Africa.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Lehabim are believed to be one of the early groups that settled in the region of North Africa, possibly in the area that is now Libya.
