Cushite
Cushite: a person from Cush, the region south of Egypt (toward present-day Sudan). Joab's messenger is called this (2 Samuel 18), and so is Ebed-melech, who pulled Jeremiah out of the cistern (Jeremiah 38). In the plural, the Cushites as a people. It says nothing good or bad about the person, only where they come from.

The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels.
