cush

¹¹And this shall be in that day: the Lord will send forth his hand a second time to take possession of the remnant of his people who will be left behind: from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

¹⁴Thus says the Lord: The labor of Egypt, and the business dealings of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, will pass to you and will be yours. They will walk behind you. They will travel, bound in irons. And they will adore you and petition you: “In you alone is God, and there is no God apart from you.

⁶And the Sons of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

¹³And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.

¹And now thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, and who formed you, O Israel: Do not be afraid. For I have redeemed you, and I have called you by your name. You are mine. ²When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and the rivers will not cover you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not scorch you. ³For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have presented Egypt as your atonement, Ethiopia and Seba on your behalf. ⁴Since then, you have become honorable in my eyes, and glorious. I have loved you, and I will present men on behalf of you, and people on behalf of your life. ⁵Fear not, for I am with you. I will lead your offspring from the East, and I will gather you from the West. ⁶I will say to the North, “Release him,” and to the South, “Do not turn him away.” Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.

⁸And then Cush conceived Nimrod; he began to be powerful on the earth.

¹And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife, an Ethiopian,

¹³And it was said to him: “Know beforehand that your future offspring will be sojourners in a land not their own, and they will subjugate them in servitude and afflict them for four hundred years.

³²Ambassadors will come out of Egypt. Ethiopia will offer in advance her hands to God.

²³And Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of Ham.

⁹Mount the horses, and exult upon chariots, and let the strong ones advance: the Ethiopians, and the Libyans, who hold the heavy shield, and the Lydians, who grasp and shoot arrows.

⁵the Persians, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans with them, all with heavy shields and helmets,

¹⁹They responded: “A man of Egypt freed us from the hands of the shepherds. Moreover, he also drew water with us and gave the sheep to drink.”

¹Now Jacob lived in the land of Canaan, where his father sojourned.

¹Woe to the land, that winged cymbal, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,

¹⁰From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, my supplicants, the sons of my diaspora, will carry a gift to me.

¹These are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and of the sons who were born to them after the great flood. ²The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ³And then the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. ⁴And the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim. ⁵The islands of the Gentiles were divided by these into their regions, each one according to his tongue, and their families in their nations. ⁶And the Sons of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
