Where Caphtor appears in Scripture
וְהָֽעַוִּים הַיֹּֽשְׁבִים בַּֽחֲצֵרִים עַד-עַזָּה כַּפְתֹּרִים הַיֹּֽצְאִים מִכַּפְתֹּר הִשְׁמִידֻם וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ תַחְתָּֽם׃
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.)
עַל-הַיּוֹם הַבָּא לִשְׁדוֹד אֶת-כָּל-פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְהַכְרִית לְצֹר וּלְצִידוֹן כֹּל שָׂרִיד עֹזֵר כִּֽי-שֹׁדֵד יְהוָה אֶת-פְּלִשְׁתִּים שְׁאֵרִית אִי כַפְתּֽוֹר׃
Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
הֲלוֹא כִבְנֵי כֻשִׁיִּים אַתֶּם לִי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל נְאֻם-יְהוָה הֲלוֹא אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל הֶעֱלֵיתִי מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וּפְלִשְׁתִּיִּים מִכַּפְתּוֹר וַאֲרָם מִקִּֽיר׃
Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
