In his Antiquities of the Jews, Josephus records the progeny of Noah and the locations of the tribes descended from these sons. As with most other writers, he equates Noah’s grandson Cush with the Ethiopians.

The children of Ham possessed the land from Syria and Amanus, and the mountains of Libanus; seizing upon all that was on its sea-coasts, and as far as the ocean, and keeping it as their own. Some indeed of its names are utterly vanished away; others of them being changed, and another sound given them, are hardly to be discovered; yet a few there are which have kept their denominations entire. For of the four sons of Ham, time has not at all hurt the name of Chus [Cush]; for the Ethiopians, over whom he reigned, are even at this day, both by themselves and by all men in Asia, called Chusites. (Bk. I, vi, 2)

Characteristics of the Cushites

Perhaps the most obvious characteristic of this group of the sons of Cush in Ethiopia, and also sub-Saharan Africa, is that they are black-skinned, hence the patronym Cush (kush, SHD 3568), meaning simply black.

In Jeremiah 13:23, the rhetorical question is posed: “Can the Cushite change his skin or the leopard his spots?” This would indicate a marked difference in skin colour between the Israelites and the sons of Cush. The mention of a leopard here indicates an inherent and marked trait unique only to this big cat.

Jesus was no cush and so could not be as them.

The Ethiopians of the Bible and other ancient texts weren’t the present day Ethiopians. The proper Ethiopians were and still are the Nubians.

Ethiopia is a Greek word which means "burnt face or black". This term was used by Ancient Greeks to refer the inhabitants around south of Egypt.

After King Ezana of Akumite conquered Kush (Sudan) in the mid 4th century AD, he adopted the name "Ethiopia" for his Empire. The ppl in the present day Ethiopia started to be interchangeably identified as:-
- Ethiopians from mid 4th century AD onwards
- Habeshas/Abeshas at least from 2nd millennium BC
- Abysinnians (Latinized forms of Abesha) from 16th century AD onwards (used by Europeans).

The ancient Hebrews were in fact the Canaanites, who are not of Ham as we have been led to believe. The Canaanites are the 11 lost tribes. They are what was originally referred to as Negro, who occupied central and west Africa (Negroland) before they were enslaved by Africans/Ethiopians/Egptians and sold to Europeans and Arabs. This was why Moses was able to be mistaken as an Egyptian, rather than Hebrew. The Hebrews are a people of west Africa (men had dada hair as per photo)
