1166. That by “Put,” or “Lybia,” in the Word, are signified the knowledges from the literal sense by which in like manner false principles are confirmed, and also simply such knowledges, is evident from the passages cited above where “Cush” is spoken of. Because by him there are in like manner signified those knowledges which are more interior, “Put” and “Cush” are mentioned together in the Word, as may be seen in the passages above cited (Jeremiah 46:8-9; Ezekiel 30:4-5; Nahum 3:9; Daniel 11:43).
