See the excellent discussion of this text in David T. Adamo, “The African Wife of Moses: An Examination of Numbers 12:1–9, ” African Theology Journal 18 (1989), pp. 230–237.

For a discussion of the relationship between Egypt and Cush, see Hays, “Cushites,” pp. 275–277.

The term “Cushan” does occur in a compound form as the name “Cushan-Rishathaim” (Judges 3:8). This usage appears to be unrelated to the term in Habakkuk bakkuk 3:7. See David W. Baker, “Cushan,” Anchor Bible Dictionary, vol. 1, p. 1220.

See J. Daniel Hays, “The Cushites: A Black Nation in Ancient History,” Bibliotheca Sacra 153 (1996), pp. 270–280.

See also George Mendenhall, “Midian,” Anchor Bible Dictionary, vol. 4, p. 816; and C. John Collins, “Salah,” in NIDOTTE, vol. 4, p. 120.

This is suggested in Durham, Exodus, p. 55; and Ronald B. Allen, “The ‘Bloody Bridegroom’ in Exodus 4:24–26, ” Bibliotheca Sacra 153 (1996), p. 269.
