Cush

Cush was a son of Ham and grandson of Noah, listed as the father of Nimrod and other descendants who became nations (Genesis 10:6–8). His name is used in the Old Testament to denote the region of Nubia/Ethiopia south of Egypt, and his descendants are associated with the peoples of sub-Saharan Africa and Arabia. Cush's most famous descendant, Nimrod, is described as 'a mighty hunter before the LORD' and the founder of the great Mesopotamian cities of Babylon, Erech, Akkad, Nineveh, and Calah.
