Conditional birth estimate
Conditional birth bounds under generation assumptions; not attested parental ages, biological limits or a lifespan.
The anchors give incompatible conditional intervals. This calculation establishes no birth year.
Below are relatives with a selected birth year, the generations separating them, and the interval allowed by each anchor. Each relative’s page shows available dates and sources. The overall estimate uses the intersection of the allowed intervals.

Put Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Put was one of the sons of Ham, who was a son of Noah (Gen 10:6; 1Ch 1:8). He was born after the Great Flood and was a brother to Cush, Mizraim (Egypt), and Canaan. The descendants of Put are not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, but his name is often associated with the region of Libya or the Libyan people. Some ancient historians and geographers, such as Josephus and Pliny the Elder, connected Put with Libya. In some Bible translations, the name Put is rendered as Libya or Libyans in passages such as Ezk 27:10 and Nam 3:9, where it appears in the context of nations that had trade relations with Tyre or were part of the Assyrian army.
