Sometimes actually its hard to tell but I think the common consensus is that Ethiopia referred to the whole of East Africa. So Sudan would be included
That is false. Most biblical references to "Ethiopia" where in reference to the area south of Aswan, i.e. contemporary "Nubia". The Greco-Roman use of the word "Ethiopian" on the other hand referred to both the aforementioned and Africa at large.
