In the Bible there are prestigious blacks, but we hardly pay attention to them. ‘Cushite’ more accurately reflects the Hebrew text. Because the word in the Hebrew text for ‘black’ is the feminine shehorah. By the way, black Hebrew scholars prefer to translate the text as, “I am black and comely (physically attractive)”, not “I am black, but comely”. This is so because the term ‘Ethiopia’ was used to describe almost all of Africa and even beyond, in ancient times.
