What is Pekod?
PE'KOD
(visitation?), a symbolical name for Babylon. Jer 50:21. In Eze 23:23 it appears to be applied to a Chaldaean province. A Pekod is mentioned in the cylinder of Sennacherib as near the Hauran, and Lenormant thinks it was the collective name of several tribes in the Euphrates valley. The exact meaning of the term is not known. Some explain it as "visitation," "punishment," others as "perfect," "noble."
