Lud«/b» ( ) was a son of «u»Shem «/u» and grandson of «u»Noah «/u», according to «u»«i»Genesis «/u»«/i» 10 (the "«u»Table of Nations «/u»"). Lud should not be confused with the «u»Ludim «/u», said there to be descended from «u»Mizraim «/u».
The descendants of Lud are usually, following «u»Josephus «/u», connected with various «u»Anatolian «/u» peoples, particularly «u»Lydia «/u» (Assyrian «i»Luddu«/i») and their predecessors, the «u»Luwians «/u»; cf. geographic references to the 'Mountains of Lud' (Anatolia) in «u»«i»Jubilees «/u»«/i», and «u»Herodotus «/u»' assertion («i»Histories«/i» i. 7) that the Lydians were first so named after their king, «u»Lydus «/u» ( However, the chronicle of «u»Hippolytus of Rome «/u» (c. 234 AD) identifies Lud's descendants with the «i»Lazones«/i» or «i»Alazonii«/i» (names usually taken as variants of the "«u»Halizones «/u»" said by «u»Strabo «/u» to have once lived along the «u»Halys «/u») while it derives the Lydians from the aforementioned Ludim, son of Mizraim.
It has been conjectured by others«u»[1]«/u» that Lud's descendants spread to areas of the far-east beyond «u»Elam «/u», or that they were identified with the «u»Lullubi «/u». Some scholars have also associated the Biblical Lud with the «i»Lubdu«/i» of Assyrian sources, who inhabited certain parts of western «u»Media «/u» and «u»Atropatene [2]«/u».
The Muslim historian «u»Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari «/u» (c. 915) recounts a tradition that the wife of Lud was named Shakbah, daughter of «u»Japheth «/u», and that she bore him "Faris, Jurjan, and the races of Faris". He further asserts that Lud was the progenitor of not only the Persians, but also the «u»Amalekites «/u» and Canaanites, and all the peoples of the East, Oman, Hejaz, Syria, Egypt, and Bahrein.
