( משׁ , mash ): Named in Genesis 10:23 as one of the sons of Aramaic In the parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 1:17 the name is given as "Meshech" ( meshekh ), and the Septuagint (Mósoch ) supports this form in both passages. "Meshech," however, is a Japhetic name (Genesis 10:2 ), and "Mash" would seem to be the original reading. It is probably to be identified with the Mons Masius of classical writers (Strabo, etc.), on the northern boundary of Mesopotamia.
