Your Question(s): who was kush in the bible and what information is there on him

My Response(s): The word "Kush" is a Hebrew word also spelled as "Cush" in the Greek form and comes from the name "Cush" in the Holy Bible. See the New International Version (NIV) for your personal Bible study where the word "Cush or Cushite" is used correctly in the Old Testament and translated as the Greek word "Ethiopia" in the New Testament which was original written in the Greek. The King James version (KJV) uses the Greek form of the word "Ethiopia" sometimes and the Hebrew form at times in the Old Testament for one reason was the slave trade and the English involvement in it which added to the deception in the world concerning the identity of the so-called "Negroes" they and the Americans were brutalizing with vicious inhumane treatment.

Now, Noah and his sons Shem, Ham, Japheth and their wives survived the flood in Genesis 7:13, 24. Cush was one of the sons of Ham, see Genesis 10:6-9 who remained with Shem in the land formerly called by God as Eden, and today referred to as Africa because of the blessings of God - see Abram renaming by God as "Abra-ham", see Genesis 10:6-32, 17:5; Genesis 25:1-4; Exodus 2:21, 18:2-6 and Numbers 12:1 where Moses married a Cushite woman and their sons became part of Israel (the Hebrews); Psalm 105:23-27; Amos 9:7 God compares the Israelites as being to Him as the Cushites are to Him; see also Acts 7:29 and 17:26 (NIV).

The spelling I use the "K" as in most spelling of ancient times in the Hebrew, and especially among the Black community words are often spelled with the "K" instead of the "C". See also your Strong concordance, the word "Cush" is translated "Kuwsh" and pronounced as "koosh" with a "K" sound. In the Greek, this same Hebrew word is translated as "Ethiopia" having the same meaning as the Hebrew word "Kush or Cush". Your King James Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible translates the word as "Cush" sometimes in the Old Testament which was original written in the Hebrew and the Aramaic; but uses the Greek word on other occasions in the Hebrew written Old Testament, why you should ask yourself this in your own personal Bible study of the word "Kush or Cush" and the word "Ethiopia".

I exhort you to continue in your prayers, personal Bible study and staying alert to the seasons; see Luke 22:39-46 and Mathew 24:42-51. I always pray to my Holy Father in heaven that I may help set as many as I can free from this guilt and burden of tithing, and when I hear from followers of Christ such as yourself, I am thankful for God's grace. Amen. Praise God.

In Christ Jesus Love,
