“Ethiopia” From Concise Bible Dictionary:

This is the Greek and Roman name for Cush, a kingdom in Africa to the south of Egypt. The boundary between the two kingdoms is not well defined, indeed, it may have varied at different times. The first cataract, 24° N, is generally taken as its northern boundary: its extent southward is altogether unknown (Gen. 2:13; Esther 1:1; Ezek. 29:10). At times Ethiopia conquered Egypt: two of the kings mentioned in scripture were Ethiopians (2 Chron. 14:9; Isa. 37:9). In some of the prophecies they are mentioned as separate kingdoms (Nah. 3:9). See EGYPT, LAND OF.
