Mash:

(Meshech 1Ch 1:17), one of the four sons of Aram, and the name of a tribe descended from him (Gen 10:23) inhabiting some part probably of Mesopotamia. Some have supposed that they were the inhabitants of Mount Masius, the present Karja Baghlar, which forms part of the chain of Taurus.

Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary

Mash:

same as Meshech

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Mash:

(mash): Named in Ge 10:23 as one of the sons of Aramaic In the parallel passage in 1Ch 1:17 the name is given as "Meshech" (meshekh), and the Septuagint (Mosoch) supports this form in both passages. "Meshech," however, is a Japhetic name (Ge 10:2), and "Mash" would seem to be the original reading. It is probably to be identified with the Mons Masius of classical writers (Strabo, etc.), on the northern boundary of Mesopotamia.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Mash:

(drawn out) one of the sons of Aram (Genesis 10:23). In 1 Chronicles 1:17 the name appears as Meshech. The name Mash is probably represented by the Mons Masius of classical writers, a range which forms the northern boundary of Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates.
