I was just wondering where India was mentioned in the Bible too… 🤔 Maybe, chatGPT has the answer?

How the hell is Jordan not mentioned in the Bible? It was literally mentioned as Transjordan, the land east of the Jordan.

India? Wow, I didn’t know. I must have missed a DLC or something.

The Bible does not explicitly mention India as a nation or region by the name we know today. However, there are some passages that refer to distant territories to the east of Israel, which could possibly include the area of India or nearby regions.
1. 1 Kings 10:22 and 2 Chronicles 9:21 speak of King Solomon sending ships to “Ophir” to bring back gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. Some scholars believe Ophir could be a region connected to India or the eastern coast of Africa, though this is not clear.
2. Esther 1:1 refers to the Persian Empire under Xerxes, which extended “from India to Ethiopia,” indicating that the Persian rule reached the borders of ancient India.
In summary, the Bible does not provide specific details about India, but some mentions of distant lands or exotic products may suggest indirect contact with the region.

Maybe you should clarify that these are countries with places mentioned in the bible rather than countries mentioned in the bible, cause I doubt it mentions multiple countries that weren’t founded until several centuries after it was written

I really don’t think that modern countries are mentioned in The Bible. How the hell South Sudan could be mentioned if this state was established in 2011.

if you talk only about the hebrew bible then France and Spain are not mentioned. Its a common mistake. The today hebrew name for them is in the hebrew bible but referes to cities in modern day lebnanon.

Nice.
I also read that Babylon is the only place mentioned in all the three Abrahamic books. I’m not sure though.
