- Genesis 10:2 Some of these names are the names both of ancestral individuals and of ethnic groups that were derived from them. Some of the names also serve as names of geographic places.
- Genesis 10:4 The names ending in –im are peoples rather than individuals. Usually we render these names with the suffix -ites, except for a few primordial groups whose names also occur as names of geographic places, such as the Valley of Rephaim. The name Kittim is retained because it is common in literature about the Bible.
