Rosh:
(Eze 38:2,3; 39:1) is rendered "chief" in the Authorized Version. It is left untranslated as a proper name in the Revised Version. Some have supposed that the Russians are here meant, as one of the three Scythian tribes of whom Magog was the prince. They invaded the land of Judah in the days of Josiah. Herodotus, the Greek historian, says: "For twenty-eight years the Scythians ruled over Asia, and things were turned upside down by their violence and contempt." (See BETHSHEAN.)
Rosh:
the head; top, or beginning
Rosh:
(head.)
(1.) In the genealogy of Genesis 46:21, Rosh is reckoned among the sons of Benjamin.
(2.) (Ezekiel 38:2-3; 39:1) probably a proper name, referring to the first of the three great Scythian tribes of which Magog was the head.
