<p> '''''kūshan''''' : In the psalm of Habakkuk (Habakkuk 3:7 ) "the tents of Cushan" are mentioned in an individualizing description of the effects of a theophany. [[Parallel]] is the phrase "the curtains of the land of Midian." [[Septuagint]] renders Cushan, כּוּשׁן , <i> '''''kūshān''''' </i> , by Αἰθιόπων , <i> '''''Aithiópōn''''' </i> , reading perhaps כּוּשׁים , <i> '''''kūshı̄m''''' </i> , or כּוּשׁין , <i> '''''kūshı̄n''''' </i> (כּוּשׁן , <i> '''''kūshin''''' </i> ). The context indicates that the same land or people is intended as the Old [[Testament]] elsewhere calls Cush, yet vaguely and not in any strict geographical usage that would limit it to Africa. </p> | |||

<p> (Heb. Kushan', כּוּשָׁן ). —; Sept. Αἰθίοπες; Vulg. AEthiopia), usually regarded as a prolonged or poetic form (Habakkuk 3:7) of the name of the land of CUSH (See [[Cush]]) (q.v.), but perhaps rather the same as Cushanrishtthain, (A.V. "Chushan-"), king of [[Mesopotamia]] (Judges 3:8; Judges 3:10). The order of events alluded to by the prophet seems to favor this supposition. First he appears to refer to former acts of divine favor (Judges 3:2); he then speaks of the wonders at the giving of the Law, "God came from Teman, and the [[Holy]] One from Mount Paran;" and he adds, "I saw the tents of [[Cushan]] in affliction: [and] the tent-curtains of the land of [[Midian]] did tremble," as thou, h referring to the fear of the enemies of [[Israel]] at the manifestations of God's favor for his people. Chushan-rishathaim, the first recorded oppressor of the days of the Judges, may have been already reigning at the time of the entrance into Palestine. The Midianites, certainly allied with the [[Moabites]] at that time, feared the Israelites, and plotted against them (Numbers 22-25); and it is noticeable that [[Balaam]] was sent for from [[Aram]] (Numbers 23:7), perhaps the Aram-naharaim of the oppressor. Habakkuk afterwards alludes to the crossing of [[Jordan]] or the [[Red]] Sea, or both (Numbers 23:8-10; Numbers 23:15), to the standing still of the sun and moon (11), and apparently to the destruction of the [[Canaanites]] (12, 13, 14). — Smith, s.v. There is, however, good reason for the supposition that Cushan here stands for an [[Asiatic]] [[Cush]] (see Meth. Quar. Rev. Jan. 1861, p. 81), as it is named in connection with Midian (q.v.). Delitzsch (Der [[Prophet]] Habakuk, Leips. 1843, p. 159), who admits only the [[African]] Cush, holds that its mention along with Midian is intended to show how places so far removed from each other were equally affected by the theophany; but this is exceedingly strained, and at variance with the parallelism of the passage. (See [[Chushan-Rishathaim]]). </p> | |||
