the fifth son of Japheth. The Scripture commonly joins together
Tubal and Meshech, which makes it thought that they peopled countries
bordering upon each other. The Chaldee interpreters, by Tubal and
Meshech understand Italy and Asia, or rather Ausonia. Josephus accounts
them to be Iberia and Cappadocia. St. Jerom affirms that Tubal
represents the Spaniards, heretofore called Iberians. Bochart is very
copious in proving, that by Meshech and Tubal are intended the
Muscovites and the Tibarenians.
