What Does 1 Chronicles 1:11 Mean?
From Mizraim, the name behind Egypt, came the Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, listed as whole peoples rather than single men. The writer records the families of Egypt with the same care given to every other branch, tracing how this great nation spread from one ancestor.
Egypt would become both refuge and house of bondage for Israel, the place of sojourn and the place of deliverance. Even here, in a quiet list of names, the land that shapes so much of the coming story is being set in place. God orders the nations long before His people walk among them.
