Old Testament
Seba
A son of Cush and grandson of Ham, representing a nation or tribe descended from the Cushite line.
Seba is listed in the Table of Nations as a son of Cush, identifying him as the progenitor of a people group associated with the region of Nubia or Northeast Africa. The name appears in prophetic literature alongside Egypt and Cush, often symbolizing distant nations that will eventually acknowledge the sovereignty of the Lord. Scripture uses the name to denote both an individual ancestor and the resulting ethnic group or territory.
