It is also used to denote the people and the region associated with this descendant. The name is often mentioned in genealogical lists and in prophetic literature, where it is associated with distant lands and peoples.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Meshech is traditionally identified with a group of people who lived in the region of modern-day Turkey, possibly the Mushki or Mushku people mentioned in Assyrian records. These people were known for their trade and military prowess. In biblical times, Meshech was considered a distant land, often associated with Tubal, another descendant of Japheth. The people of Meshech were known for their involvement in trade, particularly in slaves and bronze, as indicated in Ezekiel's prophecies.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4900.htm">mashak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a son of Japheth, also his desc. and their land<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Meshech (10).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">מֶ֫שֶׁךְ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a people</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>the Moschi</b></font> (Greek <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μοσχοι</font>, see below; Assyrian <i><em>Mušku, Muški</em></i>, Dl<sup>Par 250 E.</sup> Schr<sup>COT <a href="/interlinear/genesis/10-2.htm">Genesis 10:2</a></sup>; KGF 155 ff.; compare Sabean <font class="hebrew2">משך</font> Hal<sup>243</sup>); — 'son' of Japheth <a href="/interlinear/genesis/10-2.htm">Genesis 10:2</a> (P), between <font class="hebrew2">תֻּבָל</font> and <font class="hebrew2">תִּירָס</font>, = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-5.htm">1 Chronicles 1:5</a>; also, <font class="hebrew2">מֶ֑שֶׁךְ</font>, probably error, <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-17.htm">1 Chronicles 1:17</a> (see <font class="hebrew2">מַשׁ</font>); <font class="hebrew2">מֶ֑שֶׁךְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/120-5.htm">Psalm 120:5</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">קֵדָר</font>; here without <font class="hebrew2">תֻּבָל</font>); <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">תּוּבַל וּמ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-13.htm">Ezekiel 27:13</a>; compare <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/32-26.htm">Ezekiel 32:26</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/38-2.htm">Ezekiel 38:2</a> (both + <font class="hebrew2">תֻּבָל</font>); so also <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/66-19.htm">Isaiah 66:19</a> (Lo Sta<sup>Javan 8</sup> Du Che<sup>Hpt</sup>; see above <font class="hebrew2">מָשַׁךְ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font>); <font class="hebrew2">וְתֻבָ֑ל</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">גּוֺג נְשִׂיא ראֹשׁ מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/38-3.htm">Ezekiel 38:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/39-1.htm">Ezekiel 39:1</a>. <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μοσοχ</font> (<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μεσοχ</font>), Samaritan <font class="hebrew2">מושׁ(י)ך</font>. — On identification compare Boch.; in Assyrian times they dwelt in west (or northwest) Armenia (compare Schr<sup>l.c</sup>.); in Persian times apparently farther northeast (southeast of Euxine Sea), compare <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μοσχοι καὶ Τιβαρηνοι</font> Herod<sup>iii. 94; vii. 78</sup>; also Di<sup>Genesis 10:2 and</sup> Che<sup>Encycl.
