Each of these names is a plural Hebrew word, which probably indicates the people, rather than the individual who founded these nations. Lud (the singular) is put with Phut in Ezekiel 30:5, which is Libya, and places Lud in the same region of north Africa. Anamim means ‘responding waters’ (Jones). ‘This could to the Kenamites who occupied a large oasis to the west of Egypt’ (Aalders). ‘It is generally accepted that the Hebrew “Lehabim” is the same as “Lubim” … If this is correct, this would then be a reference to the Libyans’ (Aalders). The Naphtuhim have long been ‘considered to be a people who occupied North Egypt’ (Aalders). ‘The “Pathrusim” must have inhabited South or Upper Egypt, for p(e)- te-res means “south land”’ (Leupold). The Casluhim are said to be the people from whom the Philistines came, but so too are the Caphtorim (Amos 9:7) – Caphtor is most likely Crete – so that probably both groups contributed to the Philistines (Aalders).
