Judah: Genesis 43:8, Genesis 44:16-34, Genesis 49:8

Goshen: Goshen seems to have been a city, after which the land of Goshen was called. The LXX render it by Ηρωωνπολις:, Heroonpolis:, "city of Heroon;" which by some writers is simply called Heroum, and is by the ancient geographers placed in the eastern part of Egypt, not far from the Arabian Gulf. Genesis 46:34, Genesis 45:10, Genesis 47:1
