Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

אַשְׁכְּנַז [Ashkenaz, Ashchenaz], pr. name of a region and a nation in northern Asia, sprung from the Cimmerians (גֹּמֶר), Genesis 10:3, to be sought for near Armenia, Jeremiah 51:27 unless this were a province of that country [“A similar form is אַשְׁפְּנַז.”]. The modern Jews understand it to be Germany, and call that country by this Hebrew name, which is only to be attributed to their wonderful ignorance of geography.
