Chub
/CHUB/
Summary
An otherwise unknown people mentioned as allies of Egypt in Ezekiel's prophecy against that nation.
☩Biblical Reference
Chub is mentioned only once in Scripture, appearing among the peoples allied with Egypt who would fall by the sword with Nebuchadnezzar's conquest. They are listed alongside Cush, Phut, Lud, and 'all the mingled people.' Their exact identity remains uncertain. Some scholars have proposed reading 'Lub' (Lubim/Libyans) or 'Nub' (Nubia) as textual corrections, while others connect it with Kufa, a people mentioned on Egyptian monuments, or with various African place names recorded by ancient geographers.
