Luvi
Libyans
Denotes a person belonging to the people or region of Lûb, generally rendered as 'Libyan' or 'Libyans' in reference to the area west of Egypt. The primary meaning is 'an inhabitant of Lûb'—used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a people group distinct from Egyptians and Cushites. Used almost exclusively in plural and collective forms, referencing both the inhabitants and sometimes, by extension, the territory itself.
