Chub

Holman Bible Dictionary

(chuhb) KJV transliteration of Hebrew name of a people in Ezekiel 30:5 . Other translations follow an interpretation of the Septuagint, the earliest Greek translation, to find meaning in the text, reading “Lud” for “Chub,” and translating “Libya.” If “Libya” is not the original reading, “Chub” remains a people about whom nothing is known except that Ezekiel announced judgment on them as a partner of Egypt. See Libya .
