๐ชโGreat Analysis on how God's division/seperation of Noah's grandsons and grandsons' sons and their descendants is where the 70 ethno-nations that both existed back then AND still exist today do come from:
Total amount of biblical nations:
12 ethnonations of/from Iaphet
+ 26 ethnonations of/from Ham
+ 22 ethnonations of/from Shem
= 70 TOTAL ETHNONATIONS
(Genesis 10:1-32)
๐ 12 Nations of Japhet/Iaphet - Of Iapthet's sons & grandsons:
๐Gomer [3 nations of Gomer's 3 sons],
๐Magog [1 nation],
๐Madai [1 nation],
๐Iauan [4 nations of Iauan's 4 sons],
๐Tubal [1 nation],
๐Meshech [1 nation],
๐Tiras [1 nation].
โDetails on Noah's grandsons' sons (of Iapheth's grandsons)
-Gomer had 3 sons: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
-Iauan had 4 sons: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
๐See Genesis 10:2-5 KJB
๐ 26 Nations of Ham - Of Ham's sons and grandsons:
๐Cush [7 nations of both Cush's 5 sons and Cush's son Raamah's 2 sons]
๐Mizraim [8 nations of both his 7 sons and his 1 grandson Philistiim]
๐Phut [1 nation]
๐Canaan [10 nations due to his 10 sons' nations]
โDetails on Ham's sons
-Cush had 6 sons: Seba, Hauilah, Sabtah, Raamah [who had 2 sons named Sheba and Dedan], Sabtecha, and Nimrod [who is 1 of Cush's sons & founded both the kingdom of Babel & multiple cities as per Genesis 10:8-10, Asshur of Genesis 10:10-12 is of/from Cush's son Nimrod's kingdom/land so he/Asshur was not included in the total count of Noah's sons & grandsons & their nations.]
-Mizraim had 7 sons [which became 8 nations due to Mizraim's son of his son/ Mizraim's Casluhim's son Philistiim & descendants becoming a seperate nation from Casluhim and leaving the land of Caphtor]: Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim "(out of whome came Philistiim)" [the 1 nation of Philistiim came out of the 1 nation of Casluhim - see also Amos 9:7, Genesis 10:14, & Zephaniah 2:5 on the Philistines], and Caphtorim.
-Cannan had 10 sons: Sidon, Heth, Iebus, Emor, Girgas, Hiu, Ark, Aruad, Zemar, & Hamath [7 of those nations were destroyed by Jesus as per Acts 7:45 & taken over & destroyed by the OT Hebrews as per Acts 13:19]
๐See & read Genesis 10:6-20 KJB
๐ 22 Nations of Shem - Of Shem's sons and grandsons and grandsons' sons:
๐Eber [1 nation]
๐Elam [1 nation]
๐Asshur (a seperate son of Shem in that this Asshur is of Shem and is not the other Asshur who was the son of Nimrod the son of Ham - compare Genesis 10:22 for Shems son Asshur [who was a grandson of Shem]) vs Genesis 10:8-12 for Ham's son Cush's seperate son named Asshur) Shem's Asshur = [1 nation]
๐Aram (4 nations of his 4 sons which are Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.)
๐Arphaxad (14 nations - 1 of Peleg AND 13 of Ioktan's 13 sons - explained below)
-[Explanation on Arphaxad as per seeing & reading Genesis 10:24-30: Arphaxad's son Salah, had 1 son named Eber [Shem's Eber of Genesis 10:21 is not the same man as
Shem's Arphaxad's Eber of Genesis 10:25]; Salah's Eber had 2 sons named Peleg [1 nation] and Ioktan. Ioktan had 13 sons: Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaueth, Ierah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Hauilah, & Iobab:]
