GAASH
ga'-ash (ga`-ash): First mentioned in connection with the burial place of Joshua "in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north (side) of the mountain of Gaash" (Josh 24:30; compare Jdg 2:9); see TIMNATH-HERES. The "brooks," or rather the wadies or "watercourses" of Gaash are mentioned as the native place of Hiddai (2 Sam 23:30), or Hurai (1 Ch 11:32), one of David's heroes. No likely identification has been suggested. See EPHRAIM, MOUNT. |
