Goshen
(1.) A district in Egypt where Jacob and his family settled, and in which they remained till the Exodus [1Mos 45:10 ; 1Mos 46:28 ; 1Mos 46:29 ; 1Mos 46:31 ], etc. It is called "the land of Goshen" [1Mos 47:27 ], and also simply "Goshen" [1Mos 46:28 ], and "the land of Rameses" [1Mos 47:11 ; 2Mos 12:37 ], for the towns Pithom and Rameses lay within its borders; also Zoan or Tanis [Sal 78:12 ]. It lay on the east of the Nile, and apparently not far from the royal residence. It was "the best of the land" [1Mos 47:6 ; 1Mos 47:11 ], but is now a desert. It is first mentioned in Joseph's message to his father. It has been identified with the modern Wady Tumilat, lying between the eastern part of the Delta and the west border of Palestine. It was a pastoral district, where some of the king's cattle were kept [1Mos 47:6 ]. The inhabitants were not exclusively Israelites [2Mos 3:22 ; 2Mos 11:2 ; 2Mos 12:35 ; 2Mos 12:36 ].
(2.) A district in Palestine [Jos 10:41 ; Jos 11:16 ]. It was a part of the maritime plain of Judah, and lay between Gaza and Gibeon.
(3.) A town in the mountains of Judah [Jos 15:51 ]
