Strong's Lexicon Kushan: Kushan Original Word: כּוּשָׁן Word Origin: Derived from כּוּשׁ (Kush), referring to the region or people of Cush. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Kushan" in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew term. However, the Greek term Αἰθιοπία (Aithiopia, Strong's G128) is often used in the Septuagint to refer to Cush. Usage: The term "Kushan" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a region or people associated with Cush. It is often linked to the area south of Egypt, traditionally identified with modern-day Sudan or Ethiopia. In the biblical context, it is sometimes used to denote a foreign or distant land. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, Cush was a significant region known for its wealth and military prowess. It was often seen as a land of mystery and exoticism by the Israelites. The people of Cush were known for their dark skin, and the region was associated with the descendants of Ham, one of Noah's sons. The biblical narrative sometimes uses Cushan to represent distant lands or peoples outside the immediate Israelite experience.
