Ethiopia: Cush, which is generally rendered Ethiopia, is applied in Scripture to at least three distinct and different countries.
1. The country watered by the Gihon or Araxes (Gen 2:13), also called Cuth, Kg2 17:30.
2. A country of Arabia Petrea, bordering upon Egypt, which extended from the northern extremity of the Red sea along its eastern shore. (Compare Exo 3:1 with Num 12:1 and Hab 3:7).
3. Ethiopia Proper, an extensive country of Africa, comprehending Nubia and Abyssinia; being bounded on the north by Egypt, on the east by the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, and on the south and west by various nations of Africa, and extending from about 6 degrees to 24 degrees n lat. and 25 degrees to 45 degrees e long. It is probable that it was this latter Cush, or Ethiopia, of which Tirhakah was king; he being in league with his kinsman Sevechus, son of So, or Sabacon, king of Egypt, against Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.
