Were Somalis mentioned in any Religious Books?

Bible, Quran, Torah any of them? Abyssinians seemed to be mentioned quite frequently in the Bible so I’m curious.
 
Somali name came 1000 AD, these religous books came thousands of years before lol

Cush is mentioned alot though, and many say we come from him
 
The Ethiopians were not mentioned in the Bible even once

:fittytousand:
They were called Abyssinians back then until 1950s when they changed their name. The Horn region was called Aethiopia by Greek I think. That’s why so many things that happened in the Horn region are attributed to Ethiopia

Aethiopia was in reference to a Sudanese kingdom; it has nothing to do with the Habash.

The Habash literally changed their name to Ethiopia in order to associate themselves with Biblical Ethiopia -> Kush.

The area known as Puntland today was called Sabtechah , according to the Bible that was the 5th son of Cush.



Hebrew: סַבְתְּכָא —transliteration: Sabteka —meaning unknown

also known as: Sabtechah, Sabteca and Sabteka

He is the 5th son of Cush and therefore a Cushite. He is mentioned in Genesis 10:7 and 1 Chronicles 1:9.

The territory settled by his descendants was known by his name.
