The Anamim are mentioned in the Bible as one of the descendants of Mizraim, who was a son of Ham, the son of Noah. The reference to the Anamim is found in the genealogical records of the nations that descended from Noah's sons after the flood. In Genesis 10:13-14 , it is written: "Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites."

The Anamim are listed among the various groups that emerged from Mizraim, who is traditionally understood to represent the ancient Egyptians. The exact identity and historical location of the Anamim are not explicitly detailed in the biblical text, and as such, they remain somewhat obscure in the historical and archaeological record. However, their inclusion in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 suggests that they were recognized as a distinct people group in the ancient Near East.

The genealogical listing in Genesis 10, often referred to as the Table of Nations, serves to demonstrate the spread of humanity and the establishment of various nations and ethnic groups following the dispersion from Babel. The Anamim, as descendants of Mizraim, are thus connected to the broader narrative of the peopling of the earth and the fulfillment of God's command to "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth" (Genesis 9:1).

In 1 Chronicles 1:11 , the Anamim are again mentioned in a parallel genealogical account: "Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites." This repetition underscores their place within the biblical genealogical framework and highlights the importance of lineage and descent in the biblical worldview.

While the Anamim themselves are not the focus of any specific biblical narrative or event, their mention contributes to the broader understanding of the ancient world's ethnic and cultural landscape as presented in the Scriptures. The genealogies serve as a reminder of the interconnectedness of humanity and the unfolding of God's plan through the generations.
