Goshen (gô'shen). 1. The portion of Egypt assigned to Israel. Genesis 45:5; Genesis 45:10; Genesis 46:28; Genesis 47:27; Genesis 50:8. It probably bordered on the Tanitic branch of the Nile, hence called Zoan or Tanis, Psalms 78:12, and reached from the Mediterranean to the Red sea. It was suited to shepherds, and abounded in vegetables. It contained the treasure-cities Rameses and Pithom. Goshen was near the royal capital, Genesis 47:27 compared with 48:1, 2; Exodus 5:20; appears to have been the starting-place of the Israelites in their journey to the land of promise. Exodus 12:37; Exodus 38:2. A district in Palestine, perhaps between Gibeon and Gaza. Joshua 10:41; Joshua 11:16. 3. A city in the hill-country of Judah, Joshua 15:51.
