These are the sons of Ham,.... His sons and grandsons, which some reckon to be thirty, others thirty one, if the Philistines are taken in:
after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations: families of the same language joined together and dwelt in the same country; see Gill on
Gen 10:5
