Is Ethiopia mentioned in the Bible?

Yes, Ethiopia is mentioned several times in the Bible, both in the Old and New Testaments. Here are a few examples:

1. Psalm 68:31 - "Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God."

2. Isaiah 18:1-2 - "Woe to the land of whirring wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, that sends ambassadors by sea in vessels of reed on the waters, saying, 'Go, swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning till now, an oppressive nation not at rest.'"

3. Acts 8:26-39 - This passage describes the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch by Philip the evangelist. The eunuch was reading from the book of Isaiah when Philip met him and asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?" The eunuch replied, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" Philip then explained the passage from Isaiah to him, and the eunuch believed and was baptized.

4. Acts 13:1 - "Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul." Niger is believed to be from Ethiopia, making him one of the early leaders of the Christian church.

5. Matthew 2:1 - "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,". These wise men are often referred to as the Magi, and their origin is debated among scholars, with some believing they came from Ethiopia.
