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).
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those of them that escape unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the coastlands afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in your army, your men of war: they hung the shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor.
Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed people, and Cub, and the men of the land that are in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
