MIZRAIM – Son of Ham and grandson of Noah. The Jews up to the 6th century B.C. and the Babylonians referred to Egypt as MIZRAIM. The grandson of Noah would be the father of the Egyptians.
From Wikipedia, “Mizraim (Hebrew: מִצְרַיִם / מִצְרָיִם, Modern Mitzráyim Tiberian Miṣrāyim / Miṣráyim ; cf. Arabic مصر, Miṣr) is the Israeli Hebrew and Aramaic name for the land of Egypt, with the dual suffix -āyim, perhaps referring to the “two Egypts”: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Neo-Babylonian texts use the term Mizraim for Egypt.[1] The name was for instance inscribed in the famous Ishtar gate of Babylon.” – Mizraim, Wikipedia
Another grandson of Noah through Ham was Cush whose own son, Nimrod, would be the father of the Babylonains. “And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of
Shinar.”, Gen 10:10. And Nimrod also built Nineveh, Gen 10:11. Another son of Ham was Canaan through whom came the Canaanites whose land encompassed the cities of Sidon, Gaza, Sodom, Gomorrah and other famous cities.

The historicity of the Bible is remarkable. For no good reason does the world reject the Bible as a reliable historical document. These places of Babylon, Nineveh, Egypt, and the land of the Canaanites are important in the history of Israel. The time after the flood is about 5,000 years ago and we still can find the ruins and read their own histories.
The great flood of Noah is remembered by people in all continents and peoples around the world. Why shouldn’t such a thing be told from one generation and passed to the next. When they were dispersed at Babel and with the “dividing” of the earth (Gen 10:25), the story of Noah and his sons would be legendary so over time would have the sense of myth because of the greatness and fantastic nature of the events.
After the tower of Babel when God confused the languages and caused the people to disperse over the face of the earth, we understand how Noah’s descendents would be found all over the earth. God forced the dispersion and population of the earth to spread out. The tongues of people led to the population of the earth to become divided.
It’s interesting that the great builder Nimrod and his people tried building a massive tower to heaven. And then in the area of Egypt his Uncle Mizraim and his people build massive “mountains” called pyramids. Then across the great ocean, what is called the Atlantic, people are building giant mountain pyramids that suggest a connection between them and the Egyptians and people at Babel.
And the grandson of Shem, and great grandson of Noah, was Eber through whom the Hebrew people came (Eber=Hebrew), Gen 10:24-25. And born to Eber was Peleg who in his day the earth was divided.
So the original builder of Egypt is easily traced back to a son of Noah. When Joseph goes to Egypt and becomes second only to the Pharaoh, he was with kinfolk, separated by a millenium or so. And when Abraham leaves Ur of the Chaldees (Chaldeans), he was from a place just south of Babylon.
I KNOW YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO KEITH SISMAN’S DEVIL’S DOOR BOOK BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO SEE HOW THE WORLD AND IT’S RELIGIONS (EVEN THINGS IN DENOMINATIONALISM AND CATHOLICISM) ARE TRACED BACK TO THE NOAH AND BEFORE.
