Peter:
I didn’t mention a couple times (M H)RC in Genesis refers to the Canaanites
living in Canaan during the days of the Patriarchs. ...
... And you have to agree that the unspecified reference to the land in
Exodus 5:5 refers to Egypt.
As for 1 Chronicles 7:21, the context of Ephraim’s life indicates that he
lived only in Egypt, making the unspecified reference to “land” connected
with Ephraim to be Egypt. But the reference is so brief and unspecified that
different people can read it different ways without being able to prove any
one reading is correct. Because of its unspecificity, I try to avoid using
such verses as proof texts.
I think the reference, HNWLDYM B)RC indicates that these “men of Gath” were
not born in Gath, rather born somewhere else. But right now I can’t prove it.
