Kush, also spelled Cush (; Biblical: ), was, according to the Bible, the eldest son of Ham, who was a son of Noah. He was the brother of Mizraim ( Egypt), Canaan (land of Canaan), and Phut, and the father of the Biblical Nimrod mentioned in the " Table of Nations" in the Genesis 10:6 and I Chronicles 1:8. Cush is traditionally considered the eponymous ancestor of the people of the "land of Cush," an ancient territory that is believed to have been located on either side or both sides of the Red Sea. As such, "Cush" is alternately identified in Scripture with the kingdom of Kush, ancient Aethiopia, and/or the Arabian peninsula.
