Glossary
- Egypt Place
- The land of the Nile and the pyramids, the oldest kingdom of which we have any record, holds a place of great significance in Scripture. Modern identification: Ain Shams.
- Lubims People
- The inhabitants of a thirsty or scorched land; the Lybians, an African nation under tribute to Egypt ( 2 Chr. 12:3 ; 16:8 ). Their territory was apparently near Egypt. They were probably the Mizraite Lehabim.
