Put, Nation (פּוּט, put). A nation described primarily in prophetic oracles as an ally of several other military powers, including Tyre, Cush, and Egypt (Jer 46:9; Ezek 27:10; 30:5; 38:5; Nah 3:9; compare Judith 2:23). Put is most commonly identified with a region of Libya, but it might also be identified with the land the ancient Egyptians referred to as Punt, which is located in or near Somaliland.
