Ezekiel 27:13

27:13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your clients; they exchanged slaves and bronze items for your merchandise.

Ezekiel 32:26

32:26 “Meshech-Tubal is there, along with all her hordes around her grave. ¹  All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword, for they spread their terror in the land of the living.

Isaiah 66:19

66:19 I will perform a mighty act among them ²  and then send some of those who remain to the nations – to Tarshish, Pul, ³  Lud ⁴  (known for its archers ⁵ ), Tubal, Javan, ⁶  and to the distant coastlands ⁷  that have not heard about me or seen my splendor. They will tell the nations of my splendor.

[32:26]  ¹ tn Heb “around him her graves,” but the expression is best emended to read “around her grave” (see vv. 23-24).

[66:19]  ² tn Heb “and I will set a sign among them.” The precise meaning of this statement is unclear. Elsewhere “to set a sign” means “perform a mighty act” (Ps 78:43; Jer 32:20), “make [someone] an object lesson” (Ezek 14:8), and “erect a [literal] standard” (Ps 74:4).

[66:19]  ³ tn Some prefer to read “Put” (i.e., Libya).

[66:19]  ⁴ sn That is, Lydia (in Asia Minor).

[66:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “drawers of the bow” (KJV and ASV both similar).

[66:19]  ⁶ sn Javan is generally identified today as Greece (so NIV, NCV, NLT).

[66:19]  ⁷ tn Or “islands” (NIV).
