Everything about Lud Son Of Shem totally explained
» For other uses of the name Lud, see LudLud (
לוּד) was a son of
Shem and grandson of
Noah, according to
Genesis 10 (the "
Table of Nations"). Lud shouldn't be confused with the
Ludim, said there to be descended from
Mizraim.
The descendants of Lud are usually, following
Josephus, connected with various
Anatolian peoples, particularly
Lydia (Assyrian
Luddu) and their predecessors, the
Luwians; cf. geographic references to the 'Mountains of Lud' (Anatolia) in
Jubilees, and
Herodotus' assertion (
Histories i. 7) that the Lydians were first so named after their king,
Lydus (Λυδός).
However, it has been conjectured by others that Lud's descendants spread to areas of the far-east beyond
Elam, or that they were identified with the
Lullubi. Some scholars have also associated the Biblical Lud with the
Lubdu of Assyrian sources, who inhabited certain parts of western
Media and
Atropatene.
