[QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [qb] Djehuti, you also are making another common error. The linguistic classification of Cushic has little to do with the Cushite or Cushi of the Hebrew scriptures. Don't confuse the Cushic branch of Afro-Asiatic with the ancient Cushites or people described as Cushi in the bible. You had two different Cushites:the ones in the east and the ones south of Egypt. The chracter in question,Zipporah, is not a African Cushite but actually a Midianite. Midan is located around modern Jordan. [/qb][/QUOTE]But that was exactly what I was trying to explain to Osirion! Cushi is a description of skin color while 'Cushitic' is a linguistic term. [/qb][/QUOTE]I have presented several translations of Hebrew. None of them seem to agree with you. Cushi appears to mean Cushite in every modern scriptural translation. Midianites are never described as Cushi. Here is a description of someone considered to be Black (just in skin color). Notice the person is not referred to as a Cushi: Songs of Solomon: 5I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. 6Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. Midianites would never be called Cushi because they are descended from Abraham: 1Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 2And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 3And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. 4And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 5And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. Also, Moses had several wives. Do we really know if the Ethiopian woman was related to any of the Midianites? Also, Jethro was a Midianite priest but that didn't mean he himself was a Midianite. [/QB][/QUOTE]
