Japheth



Japheth ("Name means::opened") (born ca. born::Tammuz 1556 AM) Attribution needed was the eldest of son of::Noah's sons. He was born after Noah was 500 years old. He was married at the time of the Flood but had no children when it started. He had two brothers named brother of::Shem and brother of::Ham. Japheth and his wife were two of the eight saved in Noah's ark. However the Bible gives no record of his wife's name. He was the progenitor of many tribes inhabiting the north of Asia and the east of Europe. Japheth was known to be full of knowledge and brought great intellectual thoughts to the world. During and after the flood he had children; 7 sons are named: father of::Gomer, father of::Magog, father of::Madai, father of::Javan, father of::Tubal, father of::Meshech, and father of::Tiras. They were located in what is now the Europe, Russia, India, and Asia.

Descendants
Y-chromosomal haplogroup CF, especially subclades C, G, I, and J. Found in small proportions in Europe and Northern Asia and believed by evolutionary scientists to represent the first human arrivals in the continent, this is consistent with the Biblical view of the spread of Japhet's descendants (who settled in Europe and Northern Asia).

The earth was repopulated from the families of the three sons of Noah after the flood. The descendants became the maritime nations in various lands, each with a separate language. A total of 14 Nations came out of Japheth.

In the Bible Japheth is mentioned only a few times: mainly in. Japheth is generally thought to be the progenitor of the peoples of Europe. Thus "Japhetic" came to be used as a synonym for Europeans. However, others have proposed that Japheth was the father of certain Asian peoples.

Japheth and the Europeans are connected by, which states that the sons of Japheth moved to the "isles of the Gentiles", commonly believed to be the Greek isles. The descendants of Japheth's seven sons spread out beginning at the mountains Taurus and Amanus; they populated Europe and still do to this day (despite blending with the descendants of Shem's descendant Abraham).

Japheth was known as a philosopher. At one point when his father was very drunk in, Japheth and his brother treated his father with great respect and covered his nakedness. Because of this Noah blessed Japheth and said, "Blessed be the L ORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."
