Cushi

Male · 1 cross reference

This Cushi entry refers to an ancestor in the line of the prophet Zephaniah, not to the father of Shelemiah in Jeremiah 36. He belongs to the genealogical background through which the prophet is identified. First appears in Zeph 1:1.1

AI summary: This Cushi matters because his single cross reference forms part of the unusually extended ancestry given for Zephaniah. The entry helps frame the prophet as a historically located figure with a traceable family line. Taken together, the material presents this Cushi as an ancestral figure in the background of Zephaniah's ministry.1
