Subjects in this Topic:

kush´ı̄t: Whereas כּוּשׁי, kūshı̄, is elsewhere rendered Ethiopian, in -32 it is rendered Cushite in the Revised Version (British and American) (see CUSHI and compare CUSHITE WOMAN). Its plural, which occurs in Zephaniah, Daniel and 2 Chronicles, also in the form כּשׁיּים, kushı̄yı̄m, in Amos, is uniformly translated Ethiopians, following Septuagint. The other Old Testament books use simply כּוּשׁ, kūsh, for people as well as land.
