Ludim is the ancestral name of a people linked to Mizraim in the table of nations and later associated with military service in the prophetic books. The page preserves the name in genealogical form even though it refers to a people rather than a single narrative individual. First appears in Gen 10:13.1
AI summary: Ludim matters because the cross references place the name both in the genealogies of nations and in prophetic descriptions of armed peoples serving foreign powers. That combination gives the entry more than abstract genealogical value: it helps connect primeval origins to the political world later addressed by the prophets. Taken together, the material presents Ludim as a people-name bridging Genesis' tables and the international horizon of Jeremiah.1
