[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yatunde Lisa Bey: [QB] [QUOTE]Page 17 Kush was the Egyptian name (#35) for the area to the south of Egypt extending deep into East Central Africa. Its border with Egypt ranged from between the first and second cataracts (waterfalls) of the Nile during the early Egyptian dynasties down to the fourth cataract in the biblical period. The name Kush, first found in Egyptian texts from the [b]twentieth century B.C.E.[/b] , was taken over into several languages of the ancient Near East, including Babylonian (kas), Assyrian (kusu), Old Persian (kusa), Old Nubian (kas), and Hebrew (kis).[/QUOTE]The curse of Ham : race and slavery in early Judaism, Christianity, and Islam by Goldenberg, David M., 1947- [QUOTE] [b]In the Hebrew Bible the term Kush usually designates this area in Africa south of Egypt including the lands bordering the Red Sea.[/b] So, for example, Ezek 29:10 indicates that Kush was geographically situated in an area south of Egypt, [b]beginning at Syene (i.e., Aswan)[/b] .” The same information is provided by the Greek geographer Strabo (b. 64/63 B.c.E.).® References to this [b]African Kush in the Bible are common[/b] , especially where Kush is paired with Egypt (Isa 20:3—4, 43:3, 45:14; Ezek 29:10, 30:4, 9; cf. Dan 11:43; Nah 3:9; Ps 68:32).? Similarly, the line from Jeremiah (13:23), “Can the Kushite change his skin?” refers to the dark-skinned Nubian. The Kaushite dynasty of Egypt is referred to a few times in the Bible, most notably in 2 Kgs 19:9 (= Isa 37:9) where Tirhaqa, who reigned as one of the Kushite pharaohs of Egypt between 690 and 633 B.c.£., is called “King of Kush72°/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
