Genesis 2:13

Context
2:13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it runs through 1  the entire land of Cush. 2 

1 tn Heb “it is that which goes around.”

2 sn Cush. In the Bible the Hebrew word כּוּשׁ (kush, “Kush”) often refers to Ethiopia (so KJV, CEV), but here it must refer to a region in Mesopotamia, the area of the later Cassite dynasty of Babylon. See Gen 10:8 as well as E. A. Speiser, Genesis (AB), 20.
