The Definition of the word Naphtuhim

Naphtuhim

A Hamitic tribe descended from Mizraim (Gen. 10:13). Others "identify this word with Napata, the name of the city and" "territory on the southern frontier of Mizraim, the modern Meroe," at the great bend of the Nile at Soudan. This city was the royal "residence, it is said, of Queen Candace (Acts 8:27). Here there" are extensive and splendid ruins.
