اسطورة عدنان و قحطان و العرب بائدة و عاربة و مستعربة بقلم مهندس طارق محمد عنتر

Quote: 3.2.3. Cush: Hebrew "Cush" of Genesis 10:6f. may be transliterated "Kish," which links this passage with well-known extrabiblical Sumerian history. The prototype for "Cush" is "Kish," the first king of Sumer after the Flood. In early times, the Hebrew letter vav was sometimes interchanged with yod. This is evidenced by the writer's explanation in Genesis 3:20 that chevah, Eve, means chayah, the "mother of all living" (Keil and Delitzsch 1975:106; all lexicons support this meaning). Later, at least by Isaiah's time, the Land of Cush was also found in Africa (2 Kings 19:9, Isaiah 18:1; Isaiah 20:35, Zephaniah 3:10.). However, that Cush or Kish was first located in Mesopotamia is well attested (Genesis 2:13,14; 10:6-10). All of Cush's descendants lived in Mesopotamia, seat of the Sumerian kingdom of Kish. From Kish the early Babylonian emperors took their royal title as kings of the world (Jacobsen 1966: 156). Thence they spread across the southern peninsula of Arabia, eventually crossed the Red Sea, and colonized African Nubia and Abyssinia (CAH: 39).
