Pathrusim, a people descended from Mizraim (Egypt), inhabitants of Upper Egypt
Listed in the Table of Nations as descendants of Mizraim, the Pathrusim were inhabitants of Pathros, the Hebrew name for Upper (southern) Egypt. The name derives from the Egyptian 'Pa-to-res,' meaning 'the southern land.' These people represented one of the Egyptian ethnic or regional groups known to the ancient Israelites. Their mention in Genesis and Chronicles connects them to the broader family of Hamitic peoples who settled the African continent.
Senses
1. sense 1 — This gentillic appears in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10:14; 1 Chronicles 1:12), identifying a Mizraimite people group. All translations preserve the proper name: English 'Pathrusim,' Spanish 'Patrusim/Patrusím,' French 'Pathrusim,' German 'die Patrusiter' (using a German gentillic ending). The people were associated with Pathros (Upper Egypt), a region mentioned elsewhere in prophecy as representing southern Egyptian territory. Their inclusion in Noah's genealogy situates them within the biblical understanding of how nations and peoples dispersed after the flood. 2×
