Commentary

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:12

Theological / Devotional

Pathrusim. Probably the inhabitants of Pathros or Upper Egypt (see on Gen. 10:14; cf. Isa. 11:11; Jer. 44:1; Eze. 29:14 ; 30:14).

Caphthorim. See also on Gen. 10:14. A people who came from Caphtor (Deut. 2:23), which is usually identified with Crete. Some think that the preceding clause, “of whom came the Philistines,” has probably been misplaced and no doubt belongs here, for Caphtor is repeatedly mentioned as the ancient home of the Philistines (Jer. 47:4; Amos 9:7; see also Vol. II, p. 34).
