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" (Joshua
24:30; compare Judges
2:9); see TIMNATH-HERES. The "brooks," or rather the wadies or "watercourses"
of Gaash are mentioned as the native place of Hiddai (2
Samuel 23:30), or Hurai (1
Chronicles 11:32), one of David's heroes. No likely identification has been
suggested.
See EPHRAIM, MOUNT.
