Explanation preview
Genesis 10 is the table of nations, a structured genealogy showing how the peoples known to ancient Israel traced their descent from Noah's three sons. Here the line of Ham, the middle son, opens with four names that stand for regions and peoples rather than individuals: Cush is commonly associated with the area south of Egypt, Mizraim is the Hebrew name for Egypt, Put with the lands to Egypt's west, and Canaan with the land Israel would later enter.
