Genesis 10:7

וּ בְנֵי כוּשׁ סְבָא וַ חֲוִילָה וְ סַבְתָּה וְ רַעְמָה וְ סַבְתְּכָא וּ בְנֵי רַעְמָה שְׁבָא וּ דְדָן
And builders of Cush are Drunkard,369 and Circle,370 and Sabtah, and Thunder,371 and Sabtechah; and builders of Thunder are Seven372 and Low-Country.373
369

From the verb seba’ (Strong’s #5433), to imbibe, drink heavily. They are prophesied in Isaiah 56 as watchmen, mute dogs, dreamers, greedy for unjust gain, “Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe [seba’] the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!” (Isa. 56:12 BLB).

The Ransom

These three, Cush, Mitzraim, and Drunkard (Seba) are given as a ransom and to take the place of Heel/Israel, “For Myself, Yahweh, your elohe, The Holy One of Israel, your Saviour, I have appointed Egypt (Mitzraim) your ransom [kopher], Cush and Seba in your underneath [tachath].” (Isa. 43:3 literal) Recall that Adam’s Rib was shut up with Flesh in her underneath [tachath] (Gen 2:21). Nimrod is the builder of Cush.

If there is over him a messenger, a mediator, one from a thousand [א], to declare to adam his uprightness, and he is favoring him and is saying, ‘Deliver him from descending to the Pit; I have found a ransom [kopher]’, his flesh has become fresh from a child, he turns back to the days of his youth.” Job 33:23-24 literal
