The An'amim are mentioned in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically in the Table of Nations found in Genesis 10. They are listed as descendants of Mizraim, who was a son of Ham, one of Noah's three sons. The relevant passage in the Berean Standard Bible reads:

"Egypt was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and Caphtorites." (Genesis 10:13-14)

In this context, "Egypt" is a translation of "Mizraim," which is often used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to Egypt. The An'amim, therefore, are considered to be one of the ancient peoples or tribes that descended from Mizraim, and by extension, part of the broader Hamitic lineage.

The An'amim are not mentioned elsewhere in the biblical text, and as such, there is limited information about them in the Scriptures. Their specific identity, location, and historical significance remain subjects of scholarly speculation. Some biblical scholars and historians have attempted to associate the An'amim with various ancient groups or regions in or around Egypt, but these connections are largely conjectural due to the lack of direct archaeological or historical evidence.

In the broader biblical narrative, the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 serves to illustrate the spread of humanity and the establishment of various peoples and nations following the Flood. The inclusion of the An'amim in this list underscores the diversity of the descendants of Noah and the fulfillment of God's command to "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth" (Genesis 9:1).

The genealogical records in Genesis, including the mention of the An'amim, are often viewed as foundational to understanding the origins and relationships of the ancient Near Eastern peoples. They provide a framework for the biblical worldview of human history, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all nations through their common ancestry in Noah and his sons.An'amim (2 Occurrences)
