AMP Footnotes
A nomadic, hostile people descended from Lot and his younger surviving daughter. They worshiped Molech.
These people were descendants of Lot and his elder surviving daughter. In general, they were far more civilized and peaceful than the Ammonites.
These people were descendants of Esau (later called Edom), the elder twin brother of Jacob (later called Israel). They settled south of the Dead Sea, southwest of Moab and east of Arabah.
The name of this coastal people was derived from Philistia, the country bordering the Mediterranean where they settled. It is believed that they were originally from the island of Crete, home of the Minoan civilization.
Probably another name for the Philistines, or a reference to another closely related group from Crete also living in Philistia.
