Arzareth

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]

Arzareth ( 2Es 13:45 ). A region beyond the river from which the ten tribes are to return. It became the subject of many later Jewish legends concerning the Sabhatic River beyond which the lost tribes were to be found variously identified with the Oxus and the Ganges.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]

ar´za - reth , ar´sareth (the King James Version, Arsareth ): This is the land to which the ten tribes were deported (2 Esdras 13:45). It is described as "another land" lying a year and a half's journey beyond the river, i.e. the Euphrates. It probably answers to the Hebrew ארץ אחרת , 'erec ‛aḥereth ( Deuteronomy 29:28 ). In Josephus' time the people were still believed to be there in countless numbers ( Ant. , XI, v, 2).
