Genesis 10:6
The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
BSB
ASV
And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
KJV
And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
(Verse 6) The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. Cush, even to this day, is called Ethiopia by the Hebrews; Egypt is called Mizraim, and Put is called Libya. From Put, the river of Mauritania is called as such, and the entire region surrounding it is known as the Putian region. Many Greek and Latin writers attest to this. However, it is not the place or time to discuss why the ancient name of Libya has remained only in a certain part of the region, and the rest of the land is called Africa.
Cush - Who peopled the Arabic nome near the Red Sea in Lower Egypt. Some think the Ethiopians descended from him. Mizraim - This family certainly peopled Egypt; and both in the East and in the West, Egypt is called Mezr and Mezraim. Phut - Who first peopled an Egyptian nome or district, bordering on Libya. Canaan - He who first peopled the land so called, known also by the name of the Promised Land.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
