[some E'sheä n] (Hebrews Eshan', אֶשׁעְן , a prop; Sept. Ε᾿σάν v.r. Σομά, Vulg.

Vai de Velde thinks (Memoir, pages 310, 311) the place may be the same as Ashan (q.v.); but this is inadmissible, partly because of the difference in the name (עַשַׁן ), and partly because the only Ashan mentioned in Scripture lay in the low country (Joshua 15:42; comp.
