Shem. Also Sem. Literal meanings are named or renown (father of the Semitic races - Shemites). The sons of Shem were:

Elam "eternity" (sons were Shushan, Machul and Harmon[1]) - (Elamites), Iran

Asshur "a step" or "strong" (sons were Mirus and Mokil[2]) - (Assyrians, Northern Mesopotamia);

Arphaxad "I shall fail" (sons were Shelach, Anar and Ashcol[3]) - (Chaldeans, Southern Mesopotamia, Israelites, Arabians, Bedouins, Moabites, Amonites, Sabaeans, and related groups);

Lud "strife" (sons were Pethor and Bizayon[4]) - (Ludim, Lubim, Ludians, Ludu, Lydians, Chubs, Berbers, and other related groups in Asia Minor and North Africa);

Aram "exalted" (sons were Uz, Chul, Gather and Mash[5]) - (Aramaeans, other related groups), and remnant groups throughout Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.

Josephus subsequently detailed the nations supposed to have descended from the seven sons of Japheth. Among the nations various later writers have attempted to assign to them are as follows:

Gomer: Armenians, Cimmerians, Scythians, Welsh, Irish, Germans, Huns, Turks, Franks.

Magog: Scythians, Slavs, Mongols, Hungarians, Irish, Finns

Madai: Mitanni, Mannai, Medes, Persians, Indo-Iranians, Kurds. According to the Book of Jubilees (10:35-36), Madai had married a daughter of Shem, and preferred to live among Shem's descendants, rather than dwell in Japheth's allotted inheritance beyond the Black Sea; so he begged his brothers-in-law, Elam, Asshur and Arphaxad, until he finally received from them the land that was named after him, Media.

Javan: Greeks (Ionians)

Tubal: Tabali, Georgians, Italics, Iberians, Basques

Tiras: Thracians, Goths, Jutes, Teutons

Meshech: Phrygians, Illyrians, Caucasus Iberians, Russians

  1. These are jewish folk tales. Not related to reality


  2. Prevailing thought is they crossed the land bridge from Siberia and migrated down the coast of North America.  For years they thought this happen about 10,000 years ago, but I believe they are rethinking this and may move it back further.

  3. When the Bible was written, the authors did not know about North or South America. They also excluded the Aborigines of Australia  as well as Africans who originated to the south and the Chinese and far eastern Asians. In other words, they wrote about what they saw in an attempt to explain it.

  4. Ancestors of Native Americans did come from Asia thousands of years ago via the land bridge connecting Asia and North America (the land bridge has disappeared since then); most likely, they came from parts of Mongolia (proven with DNA tests).

  5. Native Americans are originally from Asia, they crossed the land bridge in prehistory. They closely resemble the Mongol people physically.

  6. japheth. the native americans moved to north america from asia (Mongolia). they migrated via the Bering Strait that connected northern europe with asia about 15.000 years ago.
