MESHACH. The name Mishael , by which one of Da niel’s three companions, of the children of Judah, was originally called, was changed by the prince of the eunuchs into Meshach ( Daniel 1:7 and ch. 3). Such changes of name were not uncommon; they marked the fact that a new state of life had now begun. The meaning of the name is quite uncertain.
