Ge'shem. Ge'shem and Gash'mu. (rain). An Arabian, mentioned in Nehemiah 2:19 and Nehemiah 6:1-2; Nehemiah 6:6. (B.C. 446). We may conclude that he was an inhabitant of Arabia Petraea or of the Arabian desert, and probably the chief of a tribe. "Gashum said it", made him a type of those who create a common report.
