Genesis 10:7

And builders of Cush are Drunkard,369 and Circle,370 and Sabtah, and Thunder,371 and Sabtechah; and builders of Thunder are Seven372 and Low-Country.373

Footnote:

371

Raamah means rage or thunder (#from #7481) and is used prophetically of the war horse in Job 39:19 “Do you clothe his neck with thunder?”, of the Earth and Sea (Ps. 96:11), and of the Dual-Heavens (Ps. 18:3). Recall that as Jesus gives a prophetic name to Simon (Peter, meaning Rock), he also gives a prophetic name to James and John calling-out the two of them “builders of Thunder”. He told them at the beginning he would make them “fishers of men”. These three renamed disciples were the only ones taken up on a mountain to the transfiguration (Matt. 17). Sheba and Dedan are found again as grandsons of Father-of-Tumult by his concubine (Gen. 25:1-3). From Sheba comes the Queen of Sheba to hear Solomon’s wisdom bearing with her spices, gold, and precious stones (1 Kin. 10:1-2).
