The place
Libya, also referred to as Put or Pul in some Bible translations, is a country located in North Africa. It is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, often in the context of prophecies and judgments against various nations. Libya is described as an ally of Egypt (2 Chronicles 12:3; 16:8) and Ethiopia (Ezekiel 30:5; Nahum 3:9) and is included among the nations that will face God's judgment (Jeremiah 46:9; Ezekiel 30:5; 38:5). Libyans are also mentioned as serving as mercenaries in the armies of Tyre (Ezekiel 27:10). In the New Testament, Libyans are listed among the people present in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:10).
