Commentary on Genesis 10:30

Theological / Devotional

Their dwelling. The places mentioned cannot be identified with certainty. Mesha is perhaps Mesene at the northwestern end of the Persian Gulf, and Sephar is possibly the city Saprapha of Ptolemy and Pliny, now Dofar, on the southeastern coast of Arabia. A high mountain standing in the immediate neighborhood of Dofar, which corresponds to the “mount of the east” mentioned by the Inspired Record, seems to favor this identification.
