Bible References

Genesis 10:6

1 Chronicles 1:8

(a bow) the third name in the list of the sons of Ham (Genesis 10:6; 1 Chronicles 1:8) elsewhere applied to an African country or people. The few mentions of Phut in the Bible clearly indicate a country or people of Africa, and, it must be added, probably not far from Egypt. (Isaiah 66:19; Jeremiah 46:9; Ezekiel 27:10; 30:5; 38:5; Nahum 3:9) Some identify it with Libya, in the northern part of Africa near the Mediterranean Sea; others, as Mr. Poole, with Nubia, south of Egypt.

Smith's Bible Names Dictionary (1866).
