Chapter 10 of Genesis is the genesis of the world's nations. This is the account of when man began to replenish the earth after the flood. From Noah's line came three sons - we met them in the last post. Japheth's sons went North. From him came the Medes, Greeks, Europeans and Asians. Ham's descendents went to the area which became Arabia, Southern Egypt and North Africa. Their territory became know as Canaan, which would be where the Jews later settled. Shem's descendents settled in Arabia and Middle East. These people would be known as Jews, Assyrians, Syrians and Elamites. I thought this was an interesting FYI chapter. It's all in the Bible. Where and how life began, how nations came about - the Bible is the history of life and tells us the future as well.
Become a student of the Bible. It's truly the Book of Life!
