Ethiopia was the land south of Egypt, including modern Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. The other listed proper names in verses five and six may be the names of ancient Middle Eastern nations (38:1-6), although the actual geographic locations may have changed, as people groups migrated. Others see these three names as regions within modern Turkey. Many believe Rosh to be modern Russia and speculate about Meshech and Tubal being tribal groups within that northern region. Gog appears initially to be a commander of a coalition with three other lands: Rosh, Meshech and Tubal (v. The word “Gog” may actually be more of a title than a person’s name, much like “Caesar” or “Pharoah.” Meanwhile, Magog is identified in Genesis 10:2, in the “table of nations” as being the second son of Noah’s son Japheth.
