Magbish
Magbish
(Hebrew Magbish’, , gathering; Sept. ,Vulg. Megbis), a man whose descendants (so Clericus, ad loc., who compares the Persian name Megabyzus, Herod. 2:70, 160) to the number of 156 returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (Ezr 2:30). It is omitted in the parallel list (Neh 7:33-34). Most interpreters regard it as the name of a place, probably in Palestine, and if so, doubtless in Benjamin, as the associated names are those of localities in that tribe. But it was perhaps rather another form for that of the Maygpiash (q.v.) of Neh 10:20, where some of the same names are mentioned in a similar connection.

Magbish
magbish (, maghbsh; Septuagint: Codex Vaticanus , Magebos; Codex Alexandrinus , Maabes): An unidentified town in Benjamin, 156 of the inhabitants of which are said to have returned from exile with Zerubbabel (Ezr 2:30). It does not appear in Nehemiah’s list (Neh 7:33). Septuagint (Codex Vaticanus), however, has Magebos. The name is probably identical with Magpiash, one who sealed the covenant (Neh 10:20).

Magbish
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 2:20-34, except Elam and Harim, are names of places.
