MESHECH, or Mosoc, the sixth Son of Japhet. He is thought to be the Father of the Mosques, a People that inhabit between Iberia and Armenia. Others believe that the Muscovites are descended from Meshech; which Opinion to us seems to be most likely. See the Commentators upon Gen. x. 2. Ezek. xxvii. 13. xxxii. 26. xxxviii. 2, 3. xxxix. 1.
