- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Inveneruntque pascuas uberes, et valde bonas, et terram latissimam et quietam et fertilem, in qua ante habitaverant de stirpe Cham.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ εὗρον νομὰς πίονας καὶ ἀγαθάς· καὶ ἡ γῆ πλατεῖα ἐναντίον αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰρήνη καὶ ἡσυχία, ὅτι ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Χὰμ τῶν κατοικούντων ἐκεῖ ἔμπροσθεν.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Cham. It is not certain that the Philistines, who came from the country of the Casluim, were descendants of Mezraim, Genesis x. 14. But it is very clear that the Egyptians sprung from Cham, Psalm lxxvii. 51.
