Tuval
Tubal
Proper name designating (1) an individual—Tubal, a descendant of Japheth mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis and 1 Chronicles, and (2) the people or territory linked to his descendants, appearing elsewhere in prophetic literature as a distant nation. While sometimes paralleled with Meshech, Tubal is referenced as an inhabitant of distant lands, often associated with trade in metal goods. The name's semantic range thus extends from an ancestral figure to a distant people group engaged in commerce with Israelite kingdoms.
