Casluhim

Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature

Caslu´him, properly Casluchim, a people whose progenitor was a son of Mizraim (; ). He, or they, for the word applies rather to a people than to an individual, are supposed by Bochart and others to have carried a colony from Egypt, which settled in the district between Pelusium and Gaza, or, in other words, between the Egyptians and the Philistines. There are some grounds for this conjecture; but it is impossible to obtain any certainty on so obscure a subject.
