Naphtuhim: A Hamitic tribe descended from Mizraim
(Genesis 10:13) Others identify this
word with Napata, the name of the city and territory on the southern
frontier of Mizraim, the modern Meroe, at the great bend of the Nile
at Soudan. This city was the royal residence, it is said, of Queen
Candace
(Acts 8:27) Here there are extensive and splendid ruins.
