Kittim

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kittim is a Biblical name from ancient times that is often linked to Cyprus. It may also include districts in the nearby sea territory.

According to The Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible, the name Kittim "is extended to include the W[est] in general, but esp[ecially] the seafaring W[est]."

The 'New International Version' Bible renders the expression "ships of Kittim" (appearing in the Book of Daniel 11) as "ships of the western coastlands."

In the genealogy in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 10, Kittim is listed as a son of Javan, the son of Japheth, making him Noah's great-grandson.

In the War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Kittim are referred to as being "of Asshur".
