Part of Speech:Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration:Meshek

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:While there is no direct Greek equivalent for Meshech, the name appears in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) as Μοσόχ (Mosoch).

Usage:Meshech is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a descendant of Japheth, one of the sons of Noah. 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.

Cultural and Historical Background: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.
