In the Torah, Kush was Noah's grandson, the son of Noah's son Ham. As Noah's descendants repopulated the world after the flood, Kush became an ancient kingdom in the southern Nile Valley, often identified with the region now known as Ethiopia in Jewish sources. The term also becomes the adjective used in rabbinic texts to refer to Black people. It has become a slur in modern Hebrew.
