Cub, a people or region allied with Egypt; possibly textual error for Libya
This gentillic name appears in Ezekiel 30:5 within a list of Egypt's allies who will fall with her in judgment. The text groups Cub with Ethiopia, Put, Lud, and Arabia—nations in Egypt's sphere of influence. However, many scholars (including the Septuagint) suggest this should read 'Lub' (Libya/Libyans), which would fit the geographical pattern better. The uncertainty reflects scribal confusion between similar Hebrew letters (kaph vs. lamed). Either reading points to Egypt's coalition partners sharing her doom.

1. sense 1 — Ezekiel 30:5 lists Cub among peoples allied with Egypt who will fall in judgment. The conjunction prefix 'and' places it in a series of ethnic/geographic names. Scholarly consensus, reflected in BDB, suggests textual emendation to 'Lub' (Libya) based on the Septuagint and geographic logic. English/Spanish/French preserve the Masoretic reading 'Cub' in transliteration, while German leaves it untransliterated, acknowledging textual uncertainty. Context demands a nation in Egypt's political orbit. 1×
