1. Son of Raamah, son of Cush. His descendants are supposed to have located themselves on the Persian Gulf. Genesis 10:7; 1 Chronicles 1:9 .

2. Descendant of Abraham and Keturah, probably inhabiting the borders of Idumaea. Genesis 25:3; 1 Chronicles 1:32 .

3. District mentioned in Jeremiah 25:23; Jeremiah 49:8; Ezekiel 25:13 . It is more than once in these prophecies associated with Edom, so that it was probably connected with the descendants of Abraham.

4. In Ezekiel 27:15,20; Ezekiel 38:13 apparently another place of the same name is referred to, which probably alludes to the district where the descendants of Cush settled.
