James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Cub


Subjects in this Topic:

CUB in Eze_30:5 is almost certainly a corruption of Lub (i.e. Lybia), as was read by LXX [Note: Septuagint.] . The ‘Libya’ of AV [Note: Authorized Version.] is a mistranslation of Put (see RV [Note: Revised Version.] ). Cf. Nah_3:9, where Lybians are mentioned along with Cush (Ethiopia), Egypt, and Put, as here; also 2Ch_12:3; 2Ch_16:8.
