Title Descendants of Noah (2 Samuel 01:5-27)
Contents In Noah's time, it was said that the spirit of God departed because the sons of God married the daughters of men and became flesh. In the age of lewdness and debauchery, Noah lived the life of a righteous man who followed God's will. Although the world was destroyed without a trace due to God's judgment, Noah's descendants were saved and covered the world. Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth became the ancestors of the world. God leads the world through the righteous. The earth was again filled through the descendants of Noah.
1. Sons of Japheth (v. 5-7, Gen 10:2-5) The descendants of Japheth spread throughout the world. The descendants of Japheth departed from theocratic lineage. They are started by the descendants of Japheth, who are situated among the islands of the Gentile world, the nations of Europe in the western part of the world. Verse 5 says, “The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Matai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.” Gomer means perfect, and Magog means Gog of Gog, which is now west of the Ural Mountains in Europe. Madae became the Han Chinese in the meaning of the middle. Verse 6 says, “The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Tibat, and Togarmah.” Ashkenas is the ancestor of the Germans, and Togarmah is a tribe that inhabited the north.
