The meaning of Ethiopia in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
country of burnt faces; the Greek word by which the Hebrew Cush is rendered (Genesis 2:13; 2Kings 19:9; Esther 1:1; Job 28:19; Psalms 68:31; 87:4), a country which lay to the south of Egypt, beginning at Syene on the First Cataract (Ezekiel 29:10; 30:6), and extending to beyond the confluence of the White and Blue Nile. It corresponds generally with what is now known as the Soudan (i.e., the land of the blacks). This country was known to the Hebrews, and is described in Isaiah 18:1; Zephaniah 3:10. They carried on some commercial intercourse with it (Isaiah 45:14).
