of Magog
The proper noun 'Magog' refers chiefly to (1) a descendant of Japheth, one of the sons of Noah, named in biblical genealogies, and (2) the name of a distant northern land or peoples, viewed in some texts as a symbol of foreign or hostile nations located beyond the horizons of the Israelite world. The term is associated both with a personal name and with a vaguely defined geopolitical region.
