Reference: Magbish

Ezr 2:30. A place seemingly in Benjamin, "freezing." A person "Magpiash" is named as sealing the covenant (Ne 10:20).

An unknown town, presumably in Benjamin, whose 'children' to the number of 156 are said to have returned from the Exile (Ezr 2:30); omitted in the parallel passage Ne 7:33, perhaps identical with Magpiash of Ne 10:20.

Mag'bish

Ancestor of some who returned from exile. Ezr 2:30.

Mag'bish

(congregating), a proper name in

Ezr 2:30

but whether of a man or of a place is doubtful; probably the latter, as all the names from

Ezr 2:20

to 34, except Elam and Harim, are names of places.
