1. sense 1 — Both occurrences describe Cush as 'a land whose rivers divide it' or 'cut through it' (Isaiah 18:2, 7). The image depicts the geography of Cush (likely ancient Nubia/Ethiopia), characterized by rivers that traverse and partition the territory—probably the Nile and its tributaries cutting through the land. The Hebrew may relate to Aramaic בְּזַע (cleave), suggesting rivers that split or section the terrain. Multilingual translations show uncertainty: some render 'divided/despojado' (divided/despoiled), others transliterate. The geographical context strongly supports the meaning of rivers cutting through or dividing the land, creating a territory characterized by watercourses that section it into distinct regions. 2×
