    Description

    Cush in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Cush, also known as Ethiopia in some translations, was a region located in the upper Nile valley, south of Egypt, in what is now modern-day Sudan and Ethiopia. The name Cush is derived from the name of one of the sons of Ham, the son of Noah (Genesis 10:6).

    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.
