Mizraim
Mizraim ( ; cf. Arabic مصر, ) is the Hebrew name for the land of Egypt, with the dual suffix -āyim, perhaps referring to the "two Egypts": Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Ugaritic inscriptions refer to Egypt as Msrm, in the Amar-tablets it is called Misri and Assyrian and Babylonian records called Egypt Musur and Musri. The official name of Egypt today is Jumhuriyah Misr al-'Arabiyah - The Arabic Republic of Egypt.Mizraim was the brother of Cush who, together along with Phut and Canaan, made up the Hamite branch of Noah's descendants. Mizraim's sons were Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim (out of whom came the Philistines), and Caphtorim. In order for Mizraim's name to have any meaning, Egypt must have already been founded (and also divided into Upper and Lower Egypt). He has been compared to King Menes, who reunited the lands as one Egypt. See more at Wikipedia.org... http://www.babylon.com/definition/Mizraim/English

Cush is first mentioned in Genesis 2:12-14,

12(The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

Answer 2

Genesis 50:11
When the Canaanites who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning." That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim.

Nahum 3:9
Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength; Put and Libya were among her allies.

Genesis 2:13
The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.
