Phut

Phut is placed between Egypt and Canaan in Gen. 10:6, and elsewhere we find the people of Phut described as mercenaries in the armies of Egypt and Tyre (Jer. 46:9; Ezek. 30:5; 27:10). In a fragment of the annuals of Nebuchadrezzar which records his invasion of Egypt, reference is made to “Phut of the Ionians.”

PHUT (afflicted, or a bow?), Gen 10:6; more properly, PUT, 1 Chr 1:8. Phut was a son of Ham, and progenitor of an African people of the same name, though sometimes the name is rendered "Libya" or "Libyans." Jer 46:9; Eze 27:10; Eze 30:5; Eze 38:5; Nah 3:9. These people probably occupied Libya, in North Africa, to the west of Lydia, or Ludim, near the Mediterranean coast. This is the land of the Moors in modern times. Mr. Poole would identify Phut with Nubia, south of Egypt. The Egyptian monuments mention a people called "Pet," whose emblem was a bow unstrung, and who dwelt between Egypt and Ethiopia. Phut may be Pet, or To-Pet, and therefore modern Nubia, as To-meru-Pet of the monuments answered to the island of Meroe.

PHUT, Gen 10:6, or PUT, Nah 3:9 (probably a bow), the name of the third son of Ham and of the country occupied by his descendants.
