Cush <ref name="term_2537" /> | <p> Genesis 10:6-8; 1 Chronicles 1:8-10. Oldest son of Ham; his descendants were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, Sabtechah; Raamah's sons, [[Sheba]] and Dedan; Nimrod, mentioned after the rest as Cush's son, was probably a more remote descendant: [[Cush]] ethnologically includes not only [[Ethiopia]] (meaning the sunburnt, [[Nubia]] and N. Abyssinia.) in Africa, its chief representative, but the Cush of Asia, watered by the [[Gihon]] river of paradise ( Genesis 2:13). Isaiah couples it with [[Elam]] ( Isaiah 40:11), Ezekiel with [[Persia]] ( Ezekiel 38:5). Also part of [[Arabia]] ( Genesis 10:7; Isaiah 43:3, especially 2 Chronicles 21:16), [[Mesopotamia]] ( Genesis 10:8-10), and still further E. Chuzistan in the region of Susiana, in S. Asia, was their first home. [[Thence]] the main body crossed over to Ethiopia. Cush's connection with [[Midian]] appears in Habakkuk 3:7, where Cush-an is joined to Midi-an. </p> <p> But the [[Cushan]] there may be Israel's first oppressor, (See [[Chushan Rishathaim;]] the name however shows a [[Cushite]] origin. The [[Babylonian]] inscriptions of the mounds of [[Chaldaea]] proper, the primitive seat of the Babylonian empire close to the [[Persian]] gulf, prove there was a Cush on the E. or Asiatic side of the Arabia, gulf, as well as on the W. or African side. So [[Homer]] (Odys., 1:23) speaks of the [[Ethiopians]] as divided, part towards the E., part toward the W. Nimrod's kingdom began with Babel or Babylon, from whence "he went forth into [[Assyria]] and builded Nineveh" ( Genesis 10:11 margin). Two streams of Hamitic migration appear to have taken place: </p> <p> '''(1)''' an earlier one of Nigritians through the Malayan region, the Mizraites spreading along the S. and E. coasts of the [[Mediterranean]] resembled the modern seafaring Malays. </p> <p> '''(2)''' A later one of Cushites through Arabia, Babylonia, Susiana, eastward to W. of India. </p> <p> Meroe of Ethiopia is called in the [[Assyrian]] inscriptions by the name Nimrod, which must therefore be a Cushite name. The writing and vocabulary at [[Ur]] or Umqueir, near the Persian gulf, is Hamitic rather than Semitic. Ideographic rather than phonetic writing characterizes the Turanian races. Massive architectural remains, and a religion of nature worship from the highest to the lowest (fetish) kind, are found in all the Mizraite and Cushite settlements; and the language is partly Turanian, partly Semitic. The 22nd [[Egyptian]] dynasty, to which [[Zerah]] the Cusbite who invaded Asa belonged, contains names of Babylonian origin, [[Shishak]] = Sheshak, Namuret = Nimrod, Tekhit = Tiglath. (See [[Babel]] .) </p> | ||
