Pekod, a Babylonian tribe in southeastern Mesopotamia (Jeremiah 50:21; Ezekiel 23:23)
Pekod was a tribal group in Babylonia, located in the southeastern region bordering Elam. Jeremiah 50:21 calls for judgment against 'the inhabitants of Pekod' as part of God's verdict on Babylon. Ezekiel 23:23 lists them among Babylonian forces coming against Jerusalem. The name corresponds to the Assyrian Puqudu, a known tribe in Babylonian territory.
