What is Arvad?
AR'VAD
(wandering), a small island 2 or 3 miles off the coast of Phoenicia, related closely to Tyre. Eze 27:8, Rev 1:11. See also Gen 10:18; 1 Chr 1:16. Ruins of a huge wall are still found, and Greek inscriptions graven on black basaltic columns. The stones are so immense as to puzzle the best engineers how to move them. The place is now called Ruad, and has about 3000 population. It appears to have been a city since the time of Arvad, son of Canaan, and is probably the same as Arpad and Arphad.
