Naphtuhim:
naf-tu'-him (naphtuchim; Septuagint Nephthaleim): A son of Mizraim (Ge 10:13; 1Ch 1:11); but, according to most modern authorities, a district or a dependency of Egypt. Among the many efforts at identification the following deserve notice: Naphtuhim equals
(1) Nephthys (Nephthus) in the Northeast of Egypt;
(2) Na-ptah, i.e. the people of Ptah, the dwellers in the neighborhood of Memphis;
(3) Nathu (according to Herodotus, Natho), which occurs in Assurbanipal's Annals as the name of a part of Lower Egypt;
(4) Erman (ZATW, X, 118), by the change of a letter, reads Petemhim, which signifies "The Northland";
(5) Spiegelberg sees in the word an old designation of the Delta, and would therefore render the name, "the people of the Delta" (compare Johns, HDB; Skinner and Holzinger on Genesis).
