Also known as Kasluhites
The Casluhim are mentioned in Gen.10.14 and 1Ch.1.12 as descendants of Mizraim, who was a son of Ham and grandson of Noah. They are listed among the peoples who descended from Egypt (Mizraim is the Hebrew name for Egypt). According to Gen.10.14, the Casluhim were the ancestors of the Philistines, a prominent enemy of the Israelites in the Old Testament. The Philistines are known to have migrated from the region of the Aegean Sea to the coastal plain of Canaan, where they established a powerful confederation of city-states. The connection between the Casluhim and the Philistines suggests a possible Egyptian origin or influence on the Philistine people. However, the exact nature of this relationship is not clearly defined in the biblical text.
