Significance

Ezekiel 38:5 lists כּוּשׁ (Kush/Cush) and פּוּט (Put) among Gog's allies, both Hamite peoples from Genesis 10:6. While the core Gog coalition is Japhethite (Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, Togarmah), the inclusion of Hamite peoples extends the eschatological threat beyond one branch of the Table of Nations to encompass multiple lineages. The combination of Japhethite and Hamite nations in Gog's army creates a comprehensive anti-Israel coalition drawn from both the northern and southern extremes of the known world, suggesting a universal gathering of nations against restored Israel that transcends any single historical threat.

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — Genesis 10:6 lists Cush and Put among Ham's sons in the post-flood spread of the nations; Ezekiel 38:5 enlists both under the Gog of 38:2, so that the Hamite south joins the Japhethite north in the final coalition. The narrative moves from the primeval dispersal recorded in the Table of Nations to their comprehensive eschatological muster and overthrow, "and they will know that I am the LORD" (38:23).
