Cushite Cushi [1]

CUSHI, CUSHITE . The word Cûshî occurs with the article in Numbers 12:1 , 2 Samuel 18:21; without the article in Jeremiah 36:14 , Zephaniah 1:1 . Zephaniah 1:1 . With the article it is probably merely an expression of nationality, ‘the Cushite’ (see Cush). It was looked upon as a disgrace that Moses should have married a Cushite. 2. Without the article the word is used merely as a proper name. It is borne by (1) the great-grandfather of Jehudi, the latter one of Jehoiakim’s courtiers ( Jeremiah 36:14 ); (2) the father of the prophet Zephaniah ( Zephaniah 1:1 ).
