1169. That 'the sons of Cush' means those who did not have internal worship but cognitions of faith, and who made religion consist merely in the possessing of such cognitions, is clear from 'Cush' whose sons they are, and who means interior cognitions of spiritual things, as shown above. It is also clear from the Word wherever those nations are mentioned.
