(sshehth) Personal and tribal name of uncertain meaning. Moabite clan whose destruction Balaam prophesied (Numbers 24:17 ). The Hebrew spelling is the same as Seth (Genesis 4:25 ). Egyptian and Babylonian texts point to a people called Sutu, semi-nomads in the Syrian and Arabian desert. Rather than a proper name, some commentators think the translation should be, “sons of tumult.”
