1193. Verses 13-14 And Mizraim 1 begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, from whom Pelishtim 2 came forth, and Caphtorim.

'Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, and Caphtorim' means just so many nations by whom just so many types of ritual forms are meant, 'Mizraim' being knowledge, 'Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, and Naphtuhim' just so many forms of ritual that exist merely as items of knowledge. 'Pathrusim and Casluhim' are nations so called who mean matters of doctrine that are formed into rituals from a similar origin and that exist solely as items of knowledge. 'From whom Pelishtim came forth' means the nation coming from these, by which a knowledge of the cognitions of faith and charity is meant - 'from whom they came forth' meaning that cognitions, as these exist with them, are facts.
