Phut. (a bow). The third name in the list, of the sons of Ham, Genesis 10:6; 1 Chronicles 1:8, elsewhere, applied to an African country or people. The few mentions of Phut in the Bible clearly indicate a country or people of Africa, and, it must be added, probably not far from Egypt. Isaiah 66:19; Jeremiah 46:9; Ezekiel 27:10; Ezekiel 30:5; Ezekiel 38:5; Nahum 3:9. Some identify it with Libya, in the northern part of Africa near the Mediterranean Sea; others, as Mr. Poole, with Nubia, south of Egypt.
