I've been watching some of your videos, in one you mention the Book of Ester and the following verse
מהודו ועד כוש
How is Hodu derived to be India? I understand the remaining words say Kush, which I identify as the Indus Valley.
It is interesting because the Kush I read in Isaiah 18 I also identify as the Indus Valley.

The reason that India was called Hodu in Jewish Hebrew is because some of the local languages to where we Jews were called the region is in something similar.

Most Jewish sources state something different. Only Targum Yonatan claims that Kush in this particular circumstance is Hodu. See below.

Thanks for explaining.
So if my understanding is correct, "Hodu" and "Kush" in this circumstance is the transliteration of Old Persian cuneifom?
For example, the DNa inscription of Darius I (r. 522–486 BC) on his tomb at Naqsh-e Rustam mentions Kūšīyā (Old Persian cuneiform: , pronounced Kūshīyā) among the territories being "ruled over" by the Achaemenid Empire.

Do you have an identity or more information for Tziltzal Kanphayim?
I'm very interested in Kanphayim!

Kush was a lot closer to the regions that Ivrim and Benei Yisrael had contact with during the early period of Israeli / Jewish development. So, that location would have been better known by name because the contact with that region. Hodu was a lot further away from the regions that early Ivrim and Benei Yisrael had contact with so it more likely that the term was learned from what other local cultures had to say about Hodu.Thanks for explaining.

What I provided is what Jewish sources state about what Yeshayahu (isaiah) meant. You have to remember Yeshayahu's statement is very general and a land on the other side of a river could be something that isn't meant to be very specific.
