However, related Greek terms might include those referring to Libyans or North African peoples in the Septuagint or New Testament contexts, such as Λίβυες (Libyes) in Acts 2:10, which refers to people from Libya. Usage: The term לֶהָבִים (Lehabim) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a group of people descended from Mizraim, the son of Ham, and is mentioned in genealogical contexts. Context: Lehabim is mentioned in the genealogical records of Genesis 10:13 and 1 Chronicles 1:11, where they are listed as descendants of Mizraim, the progenitor of the Egyptians. The Lehabim are traditionally identified with the Libyans, an ancient people located in North Africa, west of Egypt. This identification is supported by historical and geographical considerations, as the Libyans were known to the Egyptians and other ancient Near Eastern cultures. The name Lehabim, meaning "flames" or "fiery ones," may reflect the arid, sun-scorched environment of the region they inhabited or could metaphorically describe their temperament or military prowess. In the context of the Table of Nations in Genesis 10, the Lehabim are part of the broader narrative that traces the origins and dispersion of the peoples following the Flood, illustrating the interconnectedness of the ancient world.
