Rosh

1. A son, or, according to the LXX ('Pus), a grandson, of Benjamin, (in 46-'. The reading of MT D'SD ctcii -nn ' Elii and Rosh, Muppim,' should, however, probably be corrected after Nu 26** to oziei cTnK ' Aliiram and Shupham ' (cf. also 1 Ch S'"-). 2. In the title of Gog b^n-i kx} V?ni Tjr? in Ezk 38='- 39' (KV 'prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal' ; AV and RVm 'chief prince of Meshech and Tubal ' ; AVni ' prince of the chief of Meshech and Tubal '). It is most probable that Bosh is liere the name of a people or country, like Meshkch and Tubal (so LXX ['Pus] and Symm. and Theod.). Its position, however, cannot be identified. Gesenius actually thought of the Russians, but this is impossible. Even the land of Bash, on the western border of Elam, which is mentioned in the cuneiform inscriptions (.see Delitzscli, Paradies, 322), appears (see A. B. David- son, Ezekicl, ad loc.) to lie too far east for the requirements of the prophecy. For further con- jectures see the Commentaries of Bertholet and Kiaetzschmar, adluc. Dulim, followed by Cheyne, finds this same cxt concealed under the n-ap (' bow ') of Is 66"'. J. A. Selbib.
