Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Mash, as it is a specific proper noun found in the Old Testament genealogies.

Usage: The name Mash appears in genealogical contexts within the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Table of Nations.

Context: • Mash is mentioned in the genealogical records of Genesis, where he is listed as one of the sons of Aram, who is a son of Shem, the son of Noah. This places Mash within the Semitic lineage, which is significant in the context of the Table of Nations found in Genesis 10. The descendants of Shem are traditionally associated with the Semitic peoples, and Mash is part of this lineage.
• In Genesis 10:23 (BSB), the text states: "The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash." This passage situates Mash among the early post-flood generations, contributing to the spread of nations and peoples across the earth.
• The name Mash is not frequently mentioned in the biblical text, and there is limited information about his descendants or the specific region they may have inhabited. However, some scholars suggest that the descendants of Mash may have settled in areas of the ancient Near East, possibly in regions associated with Aram or neighboring territories.
• The genealogical listing of Mash serves to illustrate the broader narrative of human dispersal and the establishment of various ethnic groups following the flood, as described in the early chapters of Genesis.
