Shu'hite, The. (decendant of Shuah). This ethnic appellative, "Shuhite, " is frequent in the book of Job, but only as the epithet of one person, Bildad. The local indications of this book point to a region on the western side of Chaldea, bordering on Arabia; and exactly in this locality, above Hit and on both sides of the Euphrates, are found, in the Assyrian inscriptions, the Tsahi, a powerful people. It is probable that these were the Shuhites.
