Description
Who was Cushi?
Cushi is mentioned in Jer.36.14 as the father of Jehudi, a man involved in the events surrounding Jeremiah's prophetic scroll. When Micaiah informed the officials about the contents of the scroll that Baruch had read in the people's hearing, the officials sent Jehudi to summon Baruch and bring the scroll.
Jehudi's task was to fetch Baruch, who had written down Jeremiah's prophecies, and have him read the scroll before the officials. This event took place during the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah when Jeremiah's prophecies were causing concern among the royal officials.
Apart from being identified as Jehudi's father, no other information is provided about Cushi in the Bible. His name suggests that he or his ancestors may have had a connection to the land of Cush, but this is not explicitly stated in the text.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
