👉 Moses and his Ethiopian wife Zipporah in the context of Cushi

The word Cushi or Kushi (Hebrew: כּוּשִׁי Hebrew pronunciation: [kuˈʃi] colloquial: [ˈkuʃi]) was racial terminology used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a dark-skinned person of African descent, equivalent to Greek Αἰθίοψ "Aithíops". However, today the term is generally understood to be a racial slur for people of African descent.
