Cush is a location mentioned in the Book of Mormon when Nephi1 quotes a prophecy from Isaiah1. It is listed along with other nations and regions such as Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Elam, Shinar, and Hamath, from which the Lord will recover the remnants of His people (2 Nephi 21:11). This prophecy suggests that the descendants of the house of Israel were scattered in various parts of the world, and a future gathering would include those dispersed among these distant lands. While Cush is not described in detail within the Book of Mormon, it is typically associated with the region south of Egypt, primarily corresponding with modern-day Ethiopia. This identification aligns with the location of Cush mentioned in the Bible, where it is commonly referred to as Ethiopia, although the exact geography in the context of the Book of Mormon remains unspecified. Nonetheless, the inclusion of Cush in the scriptural text emphasizes the global scope of the Lord’s work regarding the gathering of Israel in the last days.
