Pathrusim

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pathrusim were descendants of Mizraim, according to the genealogies in Genesis. According to some scholars, this was in southern Egypt (Upper Egypt) around Thebes, since Pa-to-ris means "southerners" in Ancient Egyptian.

In a mediaeval rabbinic work known as the Book of Jasher, the Pathrusim and Casluhim originated the Pelishtim, Azathim, Gerarim, Githim, and Ekronim.
