“And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)”
And the Avvim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and dwelt in their place; -- the Avvim and Caphtorim represent another example of conquest and displacement in the broader region. Caphtor (likely Crete) suggests maritime/trader origins for these people.
