Quick answer
Mizraim (Egypt) fathers several peoples, showing the spread of nations from Ham's line.
Overview
Mizraim is the Hebrew name for Egypt, and these descendants represent peoples connected to the Egyptian sphere (Genesis 10:13). The Chronicler lists them as part of the comprehensive map of nations. Egypt looms large in Israel's later story as the place of bondage and exodus, the backdrop against which God displayed His saving power.
