Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

מֵשָׁא (perhaps i.q. מֵישָׁא “retreat”), [Mesha], pr.n. of a place mentioned in the description of the boundaries of Joctanite Arabia. Genesis 10:30, “and their dwelling was מִמֵּשָׁא בֹּאֲכָה סְפָרָח הַר הַקֶּדֶם from Mesha unto Sephara, (and beyond, as far as) the mountains of Arabia.” In these words Mesha seems to me to be Μοῦσα or Μοῦζα a city of note, with a port, situated on the western shore of Arabia, nearly where now is Maushid (according to Ptolem. vi.7, 14-Lat., 74-long.), forming therefore the western boundary of the Joctanites. I understand Sepharah to be the city ظفار the metropolis of the region of Shehr, between the provinces Hadramaut and Oman. The mountains of Arabia are no doubt the chain of mountains nearly in the middle of Arabia, running from near Mecca and Medina, to the Persian Gulf; now called نَجْدُ the abode of the Wahabites. See (Jomard) Notice sur le Pays de Nedjd ou l’Arabie Centrale, Paris, 1823, 8; and my remarks in Ephemerid. Hal. 1825, No. 56. [According to Forster i. 97, Mount Zames.]
