Cush became the father of Nimrod; he was the first on earth to become a mighty warrior.

In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, to fulfill the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the spirit of King Cyrus of Persia so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also in writing, saying:
Paras and Lud and Put were in your army, your mighty warriors; they hung shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor.
A sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Cush, when the slain fall in Egypt, and its wealth is carried away, and its foundations are torn down.
Cush and Put and Lud and all the mixed populations and Libya and the people of the allied land shall fall with them by the sword.
As for the ram that you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia.
Cush was her strength, Egypt, too, and that without limit; Put and the Libyans were her helpers.
