Isa 66:19. Philae, an island in the Nile, the border between Egypt and Ethiopia (Bochart). Septuagint read Phud. Phut ought to be read for Pal; compare Na 3:9. (See PHUT.) An African people is meant by Isaiah (Eze 27:10; 30:5).
"I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations: Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coastlands that have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory And they will declare My glory among the nations.
"Persia and Lud and Put were in your army, your men of war. They hung shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor.
"Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya and the people of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword."
