A person of Cushite origin; belonging to or descended from the people of Cush. The term refers primarily to individuals originating from Cush, a region generally identified with territories south of Egypt (often associated with Nubia or the Upper Nile region in contemporary scholarship). In the Hebrew Bible, the word is used ethnically to indicate someone whose ancestry is traced to Cush and, in some contexts, can serve as a personal name ('Cushi').

the Cushite
| Morphological Notes | Noun, gentilic; masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is a masculine singular gentilic formed from כוש (Cush) with the suffix -ִי indicating descent or affiliation, and prefixed with the definite article הַ, yielding "the Cushite." This preserves both the ethnic derivation and the definiteness of the form. |
