I. MESHA, or Messa; Moses says, that Gen. x. 27, 28, 29, 30.the Children of Joktan inhabited the Countrey from Mesha, as thou goest into Sephar, a Mountain of the East. We have said before, that Mash, the Son of Aram, had probably given his Name to Mount Masius, which we understand here under the Name Mesha; and the Sons of Joktan possessed the whole Countrey between Mount Masius, and the Mountains of Sephar, or Sepharvaim.
