The Bible describes Zipporah as either Cushite or Ethiopian. Both terms are correct. The term Cushi is a Hebrew term used to describe people of African descent. The word Ethiopia comes from the Greek which means "burnt faces". Both terms locate people who presently reside in Sudan or the ancient land of Cush.
