Usage: Sabta, or Sabtah, is a name found in the genealogies of the Bible. It refers to one of the sons of Cush, who was a son of Ham, making Sabta a grandson of Noah. The name is used to denote a person and possibly a people or region associated with him.

Cultural and Historical Background: Sabta is listed among the descendants of Cush, who is traditionally associated with regions in Africa and Arabia. The genealogies in Genesis often reflect not only familial lines but also the spread of peoples and cultures.

The descendants of Cush are often linked to the early civilizations that emerged in these regions, known for their trade and cultural exchanges.
