Meshech was one of the sons of Japheth and a grandson of Noah, mentioned in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10:2;1 Chronicles 1:5). The Table of Nations is a genealogical record of the descendants of Noah's three sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and their dispersal after the Tower of Babel. Meshech is listed among the sons of Japheth, along with his brothers Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, and Tiras. These sons and their descendants are generally associated with the peoples of the northern and western regions, including Asia Minor and Europe.
