Ezekiel 38:5
Persia, Cush, and Put will accompany them, all with shields and helmets,
BSB
ASV
Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
KJV
Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Libya and Ethiopia, mixed with the northern invaders, are tribes from the extreme south, to show that this is a general combination of the foes of God’s people.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
