In Genesis 10:7, the sons of Cush symbolize people who did not have inward worship but did have religious knowledge, the possession of which they considered to be religion. Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca, are individual nations among whom that knowledge was extant, while at a deeper level they symbolize the knowledge itself.

1168. Verse 7 And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteka. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 'The sons of Cush' means those who did not have internal worship but cognitions of faith, and who made religion consist merely in the possessing of such cognitions. 'Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteka' are just so many nations with whom these existed, for in the internal sense these same nations mean cognitions themselves. 'The sons of Raamah' similarly means those who had no internal worship but cognitions of faith, in the mere possession of which they made religion consist. 'Sheba and Dedan' are nations with whom these cognitions existed, for by those same nations cognitions themselves are meant in the internal sense, though with this difference, that cognitions of spiritual things are meant by 'the sons of Cush', cognitions of celestial things by 'the sons of Raamah'.
