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 Book of Jasher (trans. Moses Samuel c. 1840, ed. J. H. Parry 1887) Chapter 10:23, the Pathrusim and Casluhim intermarried resulting in the Pelishtim, Azathim, Gerarim, Githim, and Ekronim.
