Cushi

Male · 1 cross reference

This Cushi entry refers to the father of Shelemiah in Jeremiah 36, not to Zephaniah's ancestor of the same name. He belongs to the family background of the officials involved in the scroll episode. First appears in Jer 36:14.1

AI summary: This Cushi matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of one of the officials connected to the reading of Jeremiah's scroll. Even a brief paternal notice helps anchor the political and prophetic tensions of the chapter in remembered households. Taken together, the material presents this Cushi as a familial source within Jeremiah's court setting.1
