Introduction:
Put is a name mentioned in the Bible, primarily in genealogical and geographical contexts. It is often associated with a region or people group in ancient times. The name appears in various passages, providing insight into its historical and biblical significance.

Genealogical Context:
Put is listed as one of the sons of Ham, who was a son of Noah. This genealogical reference is found in Genesis 10:6: "The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan." This places Put among the early post-flood descendants, contributing to the repopulation and diversification of the earth's inhabitants.

Geographical and Ethnological Context:
Put is frequently associated with a region or people group in North Africa. The exact location is debated, but it is often linked to the area west of Egypt, possibly corresponding to modern-day Libya. This association is supported by various biblical passages that mention Put alongside other North African regions.

Biblical References:
1. Ezekiel 27:10 · "Men of Persia, Lud, and Put served as warriors in your army; they hung their shields and helmets in you, bestowing splendor on you." This verse highlights Put as a source of military strength, indicating its people were known as warriors.

2. Ezekiel 30:5 · "Cush and Put, Lud and all the mixed tribes, and Libya and the men of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with them." Here, Put is mentioned in a prophecy against Egypt, suggesting its involvement in regional alliances and conflicts.

3. Jeremiah 46:9 · "Advance, O horses! Race furiously, O chariots! Let the warriors come forth—Cush and Put, who carry the shield, men of Lydia who draw the bow." This passage again emphasizes the martial prowess of Put, aligning them with other formidable groups.

4. Nahum 3:9 · "Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength; Put and Libya were her allies." In this context, Put is listed as an ally of Egypt, reinforcing its role in the geopolitical landscape of the ancient Near East.

Historical and Cultural Insights:
The references to Put in the Bible suggest a people known for their military capabilities and alliances with other nations. The association with North Africa, particularly Libya, is supported by historical records and archaeological findings that indicate a vibrant and influential culture in the region during biblical times.

Theological Significance:
From a theological perspective, the mention of Put in the Bible serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of nations and peoples in God's creation. The genealogical listing of Put as a descendant of Ham underscores the diversity of humanity and the unfolding of God's plan through various ethnic groups and regions.

Conclusion:
While the Bible does not provide extensive details about Put, the references to this name offer valuable insights into the ancient world and the complex relationships between nations. The biblical portrayal of Put as a warrior people and ally of Egypt highlights its significance in the historical and prophetic narratives of Scripture.Put

PUT

put (puT; Phoud, in Genesis and Chronicles, variant for Genesis Phout, for Chronicles, Phouth):

1. Renderings:

In consequence of the identification at the time, the prophets have "Libya" (Libues), except Nab 3:9, where the Greek renders the word as phuge, "flight." The Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) has "Phut," "Phuth," and in the Prophets "Libyes" and "Libya"; the King James Version "Phut."

2. Son of Ham:

In the "Table of Nations" Put is the third son of Ham (Genesis 10:6), the first and second being Cush and Misraim, and the fourth Canaan. Put is the only one of the sons of Ham who is not credited with descendants.

3. As Nationality:

In the Prophets, warriors from Put are referred to, principally in connection with the forces of Egypt. They appear as shield-bearers (Jeremiah 46:9: "Cush and Put, that handle the shield; and the Ludim, that handle and bend the bow"). See also Ezekiel 30:5, where the order in the Hebrew is Cush, Put and Lud. In Nahum 3:9 Put is the helper of No-amon (Thebes in Egypt), and in Ezekiel 27:10 Put appears with Persia and Lydia (Lud) as being in the army of Tyre.

4. Identified with Punt:

The common identification of Put is the Egyptian Punt (or Pwent) proposed by Ebers. The assimilation of n to a following consonant is common in the Semitic languages, and would occasion no difficulty if the vocalization be found to agree. The final "t" of Punt, however, seems to be the Egyptian feminine ending, whereas the "T" of Put is radical.

5. Somaliland and Yemen:

Nevertheless, the district would seem to be rightly identified with the tract to the East of Abyssinia (Somaliland), and as it is described as being on both sides of the sea (the Red Sea), Yemen would seem to be included. In connection with this, it is worthy of note that a fragment of a Babylonian tablet referring to Nebuchadrezzar's campaign in Egypt in his 37th year mentions, as though in the neighborhood, the city (here, apparently, standing for the district) of Putu-yaman-probably not "Ionian (Greek) Put" (Lesbos, according to Winckler), but "Put of Yemen." If this be in contra-distinction to the district of Put (Punt) on the African mainland, the latter would be the Putu referred to in the Persian inscription of Naqsh-i-Rustem, which mentions, among the tributary-countries, Kushiya, Putiya and Masiya, in Babylonian (mat) PuTa, ((mat) K)usu, (mat) Massu(?), "the land Put, the land Kush (Ethiopia), the land Massu(?)." The soldiers of Put in the army of Tyre may have been either from the African or the Yemenite Put, in which case there was no northern tract of that name, unless settlements had been made at any time from the original district. See W. Max Muller, Asien und Europa, Leipzig, 1893, 106;.
