Strong's Lexicon Qushayahu: Cushiah, Cushite of Yahweh Original Word: קוּשָׁיָהוּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קוּשׁ (Kush), referring to Cush, and יָהוּ (Yahu), a theophoric element referring to Yahweh. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Qushayahu in the Strong's Greek Dictionary. However, the concept of a foreigner devoted to God can be seen in the New Testament with figures like the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:27-39), who represents the inclusion of Gentiles into the faith. Usage: Qushayahu is a proper name meaning "Cushite of Yahweh" or "Yahweh is my blackness," indicating a person of Cushite descent who is devoted to Yahweh. The name reflects a connection to the region of Cush, which is often associated with the area south of Egypt, including parts of modern-day Sudan and Ethiopia. Cultural and Historical Background: In the biblical context, Cushites were often seen as people from the southern regions of the known world. The inclusion of a Cushite in the biblical narrative highlights the diversity within the people of Israel and the reach of Yahweh's influence beyond the traditional boundaries of Israel. The name Qushayahu suggests a blending of cultural identities, where a person of Cushite descent is also a worshiper of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
