Arvad (ăr'văd), wandering. A small island, two or three miles off the coast of Phœnicia, related closely to Tyre, Ezekiel 27:8; Ezekiel 27:11. See also Genesis 10:18; 1 Chronicles 1:16. Ruins of a huge wall are still found, and Greek inscriptions graven on black basaltic columns. The stones are so large that the best engineers are puzzled to know how they were moved. The place is now called Ruad, and has about 3000 population. It is probably the same as Arpad and Arphad.
