Introduction
Mizraim is a son of Ham, named in Genesis 10:6 among Ham's four sons. His name is, in fact, the ordinary Hebrew word for Egypt (used throughout the Hebrew Bible to refer to the country), making him the ancestral figure the Table of Nations directly associates with Egypt and its peoples.
Family
Descendants
Genesis 10:13-14 lists several peoples descended from Mizraim, generally understood as referring to various regions or population groups associated with ancient Egypt and neighbouring areas, including a reference to the Casluhites, "from whom the Philistines come", connecting this genealogy to another people significant in later biblical narrative, particularly during the period of the Judges and the united monarchy.
Name as a place, not only a person
Because "Mizraim" functions throughout the rest of the Hebrew Bible primarily as the ordinary name for the land and nation of Egypt rather than as a personal name, his listing here is a clear example of the Table of Nations' broader pattern of presenting nations, peoples and territories in the form of a personal genealogy, an ancient Near Eastern genre convention rather than a strictly literal record of individual descent.
