In Genesis 10:13, the gentilic masculine plural form occurs in the list of groups begotten by Egypt; the APB renders the list with “the Ludites.” In 1 Chronicles 1:11 the proper-noun forms occur in the corresponding genealogical list, and Jeremiah 46:9 names the group among those who “handle and bend the bow.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the group as “the Ludites” in the genealogical clauses of Genesis 10:13 and 1 Chronicles 1:11, and as “the Ludites who handle and bend the bow” in Jeremiah 46:9. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
