pat.ru.si names a group listed among Egypt’s descendants in biblical genealogies.

Senses in use

  1. A group named in Egypt’s genealogy · dominant

    In Genesis 10:14, the masculine plural gentilic form occurs in the clause stating that Egypt begot this group, alongside Casluhim and Caphtorim. In 1 Chronicles 1:12, the proper noun form appears in the corresponding list; the APB renders the list “Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom the Philistines came out), and Caphtorim.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the term as “Pathrusim” in a list with Casluhim and Caphtorim. Its wording confirms the list context rather than supplying a separate lexical definition.
