Where is Shoa in the Bible?
Shoa was a people group mentioned in the Bible primarily in the book of Ezekiel, specifically in the prophet's oracle against Jerusalem. In Ezekiel 23:23, Shoa is listed alongside other ancient Near Eastern powers including the Babylonians, Chaldeans, and Assyrians as nations that God would bring against unfaithful Jerusalem as judgment. While the exact geographical location of Shoa remains uncertain among scholars, it is believed to have been situated in Mesopotamia or the broader ancient Near Eastern region.
