Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term פוּתִי (Puthi) in the Strong's Greek lexicon.

Usage: The term "Puthite" is used to refer to a member of the people or tribe associated with Put, a region or group mentioned in the genealogies and historical accounts of the Bible.

Context: • The Puthites are mentioned in the context of genealogical records and tribal affiliations within the Hebrew Bible. The name Put is often associated with a region or people located in North Africa, possibly linked to Libya or a nearby area. The descendants of Put are listed among the nations descended from Noah's sons, specifically through Ham, as recorded in Genesis 10:6: "The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan."
• The Puthites, as descendants of Put, are part of the broader narrative of the Table of Nations, which outlines the spread of peoples and tribes following the flood. This genealogical framework serves to establish the relationships and origins of various groups known to the ancient Israelites.
• In the prophetic literature, Put is sometimes mentioned in conjunction with other nations in the context of military alliances or judgments. For example, in Ezekiel 27:10, Put is listed among the mercenaries serving in Tyre's army: "Men of Persia, Lud, and Put served as warriors in your army; they hung their shields and helmets in you, bestowing splendor on you."
• The identification of the Puthites and their precise historical and geographical context remains a subject of scholarly discussion, with interpretations varying based on archaeological and textual evidence.
