As a person, Cush is the eldest son of Ham, who is one of Noah's three sons (Genesis 10:6). As a region, Cush is often associated with the area south of Egypt, which is modern-day Sudan and parts of Ethiopia. The term is used to describe the descendants of Cush and the land they inhabited.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Cush is historically significant as it represents one of the early post-flood civilizations. The Cushites are often associated with the ancient kingdom of Nubia, known for its rich culture and interactions with Egypt. The region of Cush was known for its wealth, particularly in gold and other resources, and played a significant role in the trade routes of the ancient Near East.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to lay bait or lure<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ensnare (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">קוּשׁ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>lay bait or lure</b></font> ("" √ of <font class="hebrew2">יקשׁ</font>);
