      The sons of Put are not named in the Holy Bible and it is believed that there were originally eleven tribes originating from Put, according to Chinese records. And that the first Chinese Emperor Huang Di is the eleventh son of this man "Put". The statements above are held as factual by reliable sources and is believed to be true, accurate and correct.

      (Gen. 10:6; 1 Chron. 1-8) Although Put is mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, none of his individual offspring are named. Often his descendants lent military support to Egypt (Jer. 46:9; Ezek. 30:4-6; Nah. 3:9). They served as mercenaries in the armies of Tyre and contributed to that city's greatness (Ezek. 27:3, 10). Put was also foretold to be among the forces of Gog of Magog. -Ezek. 38:5.
      Available evidence points to a connection between Put and the Libyans of N. Africa. In four of its occurrences, Put is rendered "Libyans" or "Libya" by the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate (Jer. 46:9; Ezek. 27:10; 30:5; 38:5). The Hebrew Put also closely corresponds to the Putaya (usually considered to be Libya) of Old Persian inscriptions. However, Nahum 3:9 seems to indicate that Put and Lu.vim (Libyans) are separate peoples. But this in itself would not rule out identifying Put with the Libyans. The term "Libyans" was more comprehensive than the Hebrew designation Lu.vim, as may be inferred from Herodotus' reference to Libyans and various nations of Libyans. -Book II, sec. 32.


      The identification of Put with the Punt of Egyptian inscriptions is not
      generally accepted today for phonetic reasons. Lastly, there is a belief,
      among some Chinese, based on ancient genealogy documents, that the Chinese
      race descends from the 11th son of Put.
