Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898)
TOGAR'MAH, the name of a people descended from the race of Gomer, the Cimmerians, and remotely from Japheth. Gen 10:3; 1 Chr 1:6. The "house" or race of Togarmah are mentioned in Eze 38:6, with their swarms of mercenary troops, as belonging to the extreme north. In Eze 27:14. Togarmah is described as furnishing horses and mules to the Tyrian markets. Hence, Togarmah seems to be Armenia, derived from Thorgom, a descendant of Gomer, according to tradition, and rich in horses. See Armenia.
