Usage: Tubal is used in the context of genealogies and prophetic literature. It appears in the Old Testament as a descendant of Japheth and is often mentioned alongside Meshech.

Context: Tubal is identified as one of the sons of Japheth, who was a son of Noah, according to the genealogical records in Genesis. Tubal is traditionally associated with a people or region located in the vicinity of modern-day Turkey, particularly in the area of the Black Sea. The people of Tubal were known for their trade in metals, particularly bronze and iron, and are often mentioned in conjunction with Meshech, another descendant of Japheth. In the prophetic books, Tubal is referenced in the context of eschatological prophecies, particularly in Ezekiel, where they are depicted as part of a coalition of nations. The Berean Standard Bible references Tubal in the following passages:

Genesis 10:2: "The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras."
Ezekiel 27:13: "Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your merchants; they exchanged slaves and bronze articles for your merchandise."
Ezekiel 32:26: "Meshech and Tubal are there with all their hordes; their graves surround them. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, because they spread their terror in the land of the living."
Ezekiel 38:2-3: "Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: 'Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.'"
