Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition
נַפְתֻּחִים [Naphtuhim], pr.n. of an Egyptian nation, Genesis 10:13; 1 Chronicles 1:11. Bochart (Phaleg. iv. 29) compares Gr. Νέφθυς, the wife of Typhon, and according to Plutarch (De Iside, p. 96, ed. Squire), the extreme limit of the earth washed by the sea (compare the Egyptian ⲛⲉϥⲑⲱϣ terminal); this opinion has been adopted by J. D. Michaëlis, who understands this region to be situated to the east of Pelusium near the Sirbonian lake; but all this is very uncertain. See Michaëlis, Spicileg. Geogr. tom. i. p. 269. Jablonskii Opuscc. ed. te Water, tom. i. p. 161.
