Quick answer
Among Mizraim's descendants were the peoples from whom the Philistines and Caphtorim came. This notes the origin of Israel's later rivals.
Overview
The text traces the Philistines, frequent adversaries of Israel, to the line of Mizraim. Such genealogical notes connect the Table of Nations to the later narratives of conflict and conquest. Even Israel's enemies arise within the family of nations God oversees, and His redemptive plan moves forward despite all opposition, fulfilled in Christ.
