<p> | <p> Son of Aram, Shem's son ( Genesis 10:28). [[Josephus]] (Ant. 1:6) says, "Mash founded the Mesanaeans," i.e. the inhabitants of Mesene near Bassera where the [[Tigris]] and [[Euphrates]] fall into the [[Persian]] gulf; this however seems too far from the other [[Aramaic]] settlements. [[Gesenius]] identifies the descendants of [[Mash]] with the inhabitants of Mount Masius, a range N. of Mesopotamia, above Nisibis. Knobel reconciles this with Josephus by supposing a migration from northern to southern Babylonia, which however is the reverse of the direction which the population usually took, namely from S. to N. In 1 Chronicles 1:17 the reading is Meshech, which the [[Septuagint]] reads perhaps correctly; also in Genesis 10:23. [[Meshech]] occurred in Genesis 10:2, among the sons of Japheth; but here ( Genesis 10:23) among Shem's descendants. [[Cappadocia]] was the original home of the [[Moschi]] (Meshech); its population was a mixed one, and a portion connected with [[Aram]] (Syria). Thus the name occurring in Japheth's line and also in Shem's line points to the mixture of Aramaic Moschi with Japhetic Moschi in Cappadocia (G. Rawlinson). </p> | ||

Son of Aram, Shem's son ( Genesis 10:28). Josephus (Ant. 1:6) says, "Mash founded the Mesanaeans," i.e. the inhabitants of Mesene near Bassera where the Tigris and Euphrates fall into the Persian gulf; this however seems too far from the other Aramaic settlements. Gesenius identifies the descendants of Mash with the inhabitants of Mount Masius, a range N. of Mesopotamia, above Nisibis. Knobel reconciles this with Josephus by supposing a migration from northern to southern Babylonia, which however is the reverse of the direction which the population usually took, namely from S. to N. In 1 Chronicles 1:17 the reading is Meshech, which the Septuagint reads perhaps correctly; also in Genesis 10:23. Meshech occurred in Genesis 10:2, among the sons of Japheth; but here ( Genesis 10:23) among Shem's descendants. Cappadocia was the original home of the Moschi (Meshech); its population was a mixed one, and a portion connected with Aram (Syria). Thus the name occurring in Japheth's line and also in Shem's line points to the mixture of Aramaic Moschi with Japhetic Moschi in Cappadocia (G. Rawlinson).

(1): ( n.) A mesh.
(2): ( v. t.) To convert into a mash; to reduce to a soft pulpy state by beating or pressure; to bruise; to crush; as, to mash apples in a mill, or potatoes with a pestle. Specifically (Brewing), to convert, as malt, or malt and meal, into the mash which makes wort.
(3): ( n.) A mass of mixed ingredients reduced to a soft pulpy state by beating or pressure; a mass of anything in a soft pulpy state.

(4): ( n.) A mixture of meal or bran and water fed to animals.
(5): ( n.) A mess; trouble.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [3]
MASH. One of the sons of Aram, Genesis 10:23 . The parallel passage, 1 Chronicles 1:17 , gives Meshech (wh. see), as also does LXX [Note: Septuagint.] in both passages. But this is wrong, as Meshech was Japhetic. Either Mons Massius is meant, or a region and people in the Syro-Arabian desert corresponding to the ‘desert of Mash’ of the Assyrian inscriptions.
J. F. M‘Curdy.
King James Dictionary [4]
MASH, n. L. mastico.
1. A mixture or mass of ingredients, beaten or blended together in a promiscuous manner. 2. A mixture for a horse. 3. A mesh. See Mesh, the more common orthography.
MASH, To beat into a confused mass.
1. To bruise to crush by beating or pressure as, to mash apples in a mill. 2. To mix malt and water together in brewing.
Smith's Bible Dictionary [5]
Mash. (Drawn Out). One of the sons of Aram. Genesis 10:23. In 1 Chronicles 1:17, the name appears as Meshech. The name Mash is probably represented by the Mons Masius of classical writers, a range which forms the northern boundary of Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates.

We find this name, Genesis 10:23. Some suppose it to be the same as Mesheek, to take away,—from Mashash.

(Heb. id. מִשׁ , signif. unknown; Sept. Μοσόχ , Vulg, Mes), the last named of the four sons of Aram (B.C. post 2513), and a tribe descended from him, who gave their name to a region inhabited by them ( Genesis 10:23); probably, therefore, to be sought in Syria or Mesopotamia.

( 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.
