Strong's Lexicon Naphtuchim: Naphtuhim Original Word: נַפְתֻּחִים Word Origin: Derived from the root נָפַח (naphach), meaning "to breathe" or "to blow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the term "Naphtuchim" as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a people group. However, genealogical lists in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) may use transliterations or adaptations of Hebrew names. Usage: The term "Naphtuchim" refers to a people group mentioned in the genealogies of the descendants of Mizraim (Egypt) in the Bible. They are listed among the various tribes and nations that emerged from Mizraim, the son of Ham, who was one of Noah's sons. Cultural and Historical Background: The Naphtuchim are considered to be one of the ancient tribes or peoples that inhabited the region of Egypt or its surrounding areas. The genealogies in Genesis and Chronicles often serve to trace the origins of nations and peoples known to the Israelites, providing a framework for understanding the ancient world and its connections to the biblical narrative. The Naphtuchim, like other descendants of Mizraim, are associated with the broader Egyptian civilization, which played a significant role in the history of the Israelites, particularly during the time of Joseph and the Exodus.
