Lehabim

LEHABIM lĭ hā’ bĭm (לְהָבִ֖ים). A people descended from Egypt, together with the Ludim, Anamim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim, and the Caphtorim (Gen 10:13, 14; 1 Chron 1:11). Nothing is known about them, but some scholars suggest that the word should be emended to “Lubim” or Libyans. See Libya, Libyans.
