ar´za -reth , ar´sareth (the King James Version, Arsareth ): This is the land to which the ten tribes were deported (2 Esdras 13:45). It is described as "another land" lying a year and a half's journey beyond the river, i.e. the Euphrates. It probably answers to the Hebrew ארץ אחרת , 'erec ‛aḥereth (Deuteronomy 29:28 ). In Josephus' time the people were still believed to be there in countless numbers (Ant. , XI, v, 2).
