Also known as Phut
Put was one of the sons of Ham, who was a son of Noah (Gen.10.6; 1Ch.1.8). He was born after the Great Flood and was a brother to Cush, Mizraim (Egypt), and Canaan. The descendants of Put are not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, but his name is often associated with the region of Libya or the Libyan people. Some ancient historians and geographers, such as Josephus and Pliny the Elder, connected Put with Libya. In some Bible translations, the name Put is rendered as Libya or Libyans in passages such as Ezk.27.10 and Nam.3.9, where it appears in the context of nations that had trade relations with Tyre or were part of the Assyrian army.
