Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [2]
CUB in Ezekiel 30:5 is almost certainly a corruption of Lub ( i.e. Lybia), as was read by LXX [Note: Septuagint.] . The ‘Libya’ of AV [Note: Authorized Version.] is a mistranslation of Put (see RV [Note: Revised Version.] ). Cf. Nahum 3:9 , where Lybians are mentioned along with Cush (Ethiopia), Egypt, and Put, as here; also 2Ch 12:3; 2 Chronicles 16:8 .

kub ( כּוּב , kūbh ; the King James Version Chub ): The word occurs only in Ezekiel 30:5 . There it is almost certainly a corruption, and we should read, as in Septuagint, "Lub," i.e. Libya. Libya, in the earlier part of the same verse (the King James Version), is a mistr of "Put," Thus correctly rendered in the Revised Version (British and American).
