These events took place during the days of Ahasuerus, who ruled 127 provinces from India to Cush.

On the twenty-third day of the third month  ​— ​that is, the month Sivan ​— ​the royal scribes were summoned. Everything was written exactly as Mordecai commanded for the Jews, to the satraps, the governors, and the officials of the 127 provinces from India to Cush. The edict was written for each province in its own script, for each ethnic group in its own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.

Topaz from Cush cannot compare with it,

and it cannot be valued in pure gold.

LORD my God, I seek refuge in you;

save me from all my pursuers and rescue me,

Ambassadors will come[fn] from Egypt;

Cush will stretch out its hands to God.

“I will make a record of those who know me:

Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush —

each one was born there.”

Woe to the land of buzzing insect wings[fn]

beyond the rivers of Cush,

the LORD said, “As my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

The king had heard concerning King Tirhakah of Cush, “He has set out to fight against you.” So when he heard this, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

“For I am the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior.

I have given Egypt as a ransom for you,

Cush and Seba in your place.

This is what the LORD says:

“The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush

and the Sabeans, men of stature,

will come over to you

and will be yours;

they will follow you,

they will come over in chains

and bow down to you.

They will confess[fn] to you,

‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other;

there is no other God.’ ”

Rise up, you cavalry!

Race furiously, you chariots!

Let the warriors march out —

Cush and Put,

who are able to handle shields,

and the men of Lud,

who are able to handle and string the bow.

therefore, I am against you and your Nile. I will turn the land of Egypt into ruins, a desolate waste from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush.

A sword will come against Egypt,

and there will be anguish in Cush

when the slain fall in Egypt,

and its wealth is taken away,

and its foundations are demolished.

On that day, messengers will go out from me in ships to terrify confident Cush. Anguish will come over them on the day of Egypt’s doom.[fn] For indeed it is coming.

“Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shields and helmets;

Cush and Egypt were her endless source of strength;

Put and Libya were among her[fn] allies.

From beyond the rivers of Cush

my supplicants, my dispersed people,

will bring an offering to me.
