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.
