Description
Who was Cushi?
Cushi is mentioned in Zep.1.1 as part of the prophet Zephaniah's genealogy. He is listed as the son of Gedaliah and the grandson of Amariah, who was the son of Hezekiah. This genealogy serves to introduce Zephaniah and establish his lineage.
The name Cushi may indicate that he or his ancestors had a connection to the land of Cush, which is associated with the region south of Egypt, including parts of modern-day Sudan and Ethiopia. However, it is not uncommon for names to be passed down through generations, and the name itself does not necessarily imply that Cushi himself was from that region.
Apart from being mentioned in Zephaniah's genealogy, no other details about Cushi's life or role are provided in the Bible. His inclusion in the genealogy helps to establish Zephaniah's background and family heritage.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.

The pattern
Where Cushi is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in Zephaniah (1).
