Mesha
eastern boundary
Eastern boundary marker in Genesis 10, defining the extent of the territory settled by the descendants of Joktan.
Who or what is this?
Mesha appears in Genesis 10:30 as a geographical name marking one boundary of the territory settled by the descendants of Joktan, son of Eber. The text states that their dwelling extended from Mesha to Sephar, a mountain of the east. The exact location of this Mesha is uncertain; it is distinct from the region and the person named Mesha. This single reference gives only its function as an eastern territorial limit for a branch of the Shemite peoples.
