However, understanding the historical and geographical context can provide some insights. The area that constitutes modern-day Pakistan corresponds to parts of ancient regions mentioned in the Bible, particularly in relation to the lands of the ancient Near East.For instance, the territory of Pakistan includes regions that were part of the ancient empires and peoples mentioned in biblical texts, such as the Persians and the Scythians. The Bible references various nations and peoples that inhabited the broader area of South Asia and the surrounding regions. In Ezekiel 38:13, for instance, the merchants of Tarshish and all its young lions are said to trade with Persia, which was a significant empire that extended into parts of modern-day Pakistan.
