Places of the Bible

Ashkenaz

Where the name appears

Events told in passages that name Ashkenaz, and how many of their verses do. That is not the same as saying they happened here: a place can be named as a landmark, as somewhere being travelled to, or as the subject of a prophecy.

  • Prophecies of Jeremiah · 627 BC · 1 verse

Easton’s Bible Dictionary

One of the three sons of Gomer (Gen. 10:3), and founder of one of the tribes of the Japhetic race. They are mentioned in connection with Minni and Ararat, and hence their original seat must have been in Armenia (Jer. 51:27), probably near the Black Sea, which, from their founder, was first called Axenus, and afterwards the Euxine.

From M. G. Easton, Illustrated Bible Dictionary (1893), in the public domain.
