Reference: Tarshish, Tharshish

Morish

Place to which ships were sent from Palestine. It is supposed by some to refer to a Spanish city named Tartessus. This would appear a suitable place from whence to obtain silver, iron, tin, and lead. Jonah taking a ship at Joppa to sail to Tarshish may also indicate a place to the west of Palestine. But other passages refer to apes and peacocks, also being brought by ships of Tarshish, and these are associated with Ezion-geber, on the Gulf of Akaba, a branch of the Red Sea. It is therefore probable that the ships from this port would sail southward to some other place, which has not been identified. 1Ki 10:22; 22:48; 2Ch 9:21; 20:36-37; Ps 48:7; 72:10; Isa 2:16; 23:1-14; 60:9; 66:19; Jer 10:9; Eze 27:12,25; 38:13; Jon 1:3; 4:2.
