[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Yatunde Lisa Bey: [qb] [QUOTE]Page 18 In several instances in the Bible, however, “Kush” seems to refer to a location not in Africa. [b]The Table of Nations in Gen 10:7 (and 1 Chron 1:9) lists “the descendants of Kush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteka; the descendants of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.”[/b] Are these descendants or locations in Africa, which would seem to be required, if Kush, the ancestor, is located in Africa? In regard to Seba there are indeed a number of indications arguing for a location in Africa [b]. Isa 43:3 groups together Egypt, Kush, and Seba, thus pointing to an African location.![/b] Isa 45:14 has the same grouping (Egypt, Kush, Sebaites) and characterizes the Sebaites as “tall,” which further points to an African location in view of Isa 18:1—2, “Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia . . . to a people tall and smooth.” !? In addition, Josephus (first century C.E.) and Strabo locate Seba in Africa. Consider also the early Christian traditions that identify the queen of Sheba (= Seba) with the queen of Ethiopia, and the onomastic lists that define Saba, Sabaeans as “Ethiopians.”!+ [b]Some scholars have therefore concluded that Seba is indeed to be located in Africa.[/b] 1® Despite this, there is general agreement that the other names of Kush’s descendants (according to some even Seba) correspond to names of peoples who inhabited areas not in Africa but in the southern and southwestern parts of the Arabian peninsula.[/QUOTE]There are 2 HAVILAH'S [QUOTE]In one case, Havilah is associated with the Garden of Eden, that mentioned in the Book of Genesis (2:10–11): And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. [b]The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;[/b] In addition to the region described in chapter 2 of Genesis, [b]two individuals named Havilah[/b] are listed in the Table of Nations. The Table lists the descendants of Noah, who are considered eponymous ancestors of nations. Besides the name mentioned in Genesis 10:7–29, another is mentioned in the Books of Chronicles (1 Chronicles 1:9–23). One person is the son of Cush, the son of Ham. The other person is a son of Joktan and descendant of Shem.[/QUOTE][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/3JZdhHl.png[/IMG] Title: The student's manual of ancient geography, based upon the Dictionary of Greek and Roman geography Year: 1861 [/qb][/QUOTE]There are not just two Havilahs but also two Dedans and two Shebas. Many scholars like Alice Linsley have noted that duplication in names is a sign of familial inheritance of that name and the different lineages from which those names arise indicates intermarriage between those lineages. Hence lines of Shem and lines of Ham intermarried even though Shem and Ham are already brothers. This tradition of intermarriage and name inheritance occurs in Genesis Pre-Flood times with the lines of Cain and Seth. [/QB][/QUOTE]
