section 2 of 10

Iafeth maic Noé I. THE JAPHETIC NATIONS. 11.Japheth was to be the father of 15 sons among whom he divided the territory allotted to him by his father, 10.Noah, situated in Europe and part of Asia;                                      These belonged to seven families, who are called "sons of Japheth" in Gen. 10:2; and seven others, who are spoken of as his grandsons in Gen. 10:3, 4. These statements are not necessarily to be understood literally. There may have been other sons and grandsons of Japheth; but these were the ones whose names are remembered as the founders of nations. The peoples descended from Japheth belong to what is called the Aryan or Indo-European race.

Gomer maze Iafeth maic Noé 1. Gomer comer is named, in Ezek. 38:2-6, as a race opposed to Israel after the captivity. They were probably the people whom the Assyrians called Gimirrai, cimirrai and the Greeks Kimmerioi. Their name is perpetuated in the Crimea, their early home. A branch of this race moving westward became the Cimbri, who were formidable enemies of Rome; and probably another, the Cymry, settled in the British Isles, and were the ancestors of the Welsh and the gaelic Irish. The Celtic races, to which the French partly belong, are descended from this family.                                                       Three of the families descended from Gomer comer formed separate tribes, named, in the table of nations in Gen. 10:3, after Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah tocarmah. All of these had homes around or near the Black Sea.                                         (1.) Ashkenaz is the name of a people spread out of Mysia and Phrygia phrycia in Asia Minor. "Ascanios," a Greek form of the word, occurs in Homer as the name of a Mysian and Phrygian phrycian prince. It is, however, true that, in Jer. 51:27, Ashkenaz is located in Western Armenia, whither this people had later migrated. Here, also, the Assyrians located them.                                                                (2.) Riphath was formerly supposed to point to the Riphæn Mountains, north of the Danube and west of the Black Sea, but this is very doubtful.                                                            (3.) Togarmah tocarmah (Ezek. 27:14; 38:6) is identified with the land of Armenia, whose people have a tradition that they are descended from Targom.  Tarcom                                                      2. Magog macoc (called, in Ezek. 38 and 39, Gog, coc the prefix Ma being thought to signify "land") is generally understood to designate the Scythians.[24]  Magog, macoc Hebrew מגוג, Greek Μαγωγ, [ ma'gog ma coc], is the second of the seven sons of Japheth mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10. It may represent Hebrew for "from Gog coc ", though this is far from certain.  Magog macoc is often associated with apocalyptic traditions, mainly in connection with Ezekiel 38 and 39 which mentions "Gog coc of the land of Magog macoc , the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal" (Ezek 38:2 NIV); on the basis of this mention, "Gog and Magog" coc and macoc over time became associated with each other as a pair.                                                            Josephus identified the offspring of Magog macoc as the Scythians, a name used in antiquity for peoples north of the Black Sea.[1] According to him, the Greeks called Scythia Magogia macocia (Ant., bk. I, 6).                                                            Isidore of Seville, writing some centuries later, adds that he is also considered ancestor of the Goths, coths but notes that this is "because of the similarity of the last syllable" (Etymologiae, IX, 89). Johannes Magnus (1488–1544) stated that Magog's macocs sons were Sven and Gethar,cethar  who became the ancestors of the Swedes and the Goths coths.[2] Queen Christina of Sweden reckoned herself as number 249 in a list of kings going back to Magog macoc.  Daniel Juslenius (1676–1752) derived the roots of the Finns from Magog macoc, whose descendants he said migrated to Finland.     Gothia cothia or Geulia-ceulia more recently called Lybia, where Carthage was afterwards built;                                                             It has also been variously conjectured that Magog's macocs offspring were the progenitors of the Slavic peoples known to history.              According to several mediaeval Irish chronicles, most notably the Auraicept na n-Éces and Lebor Gabála cabala Érenn, the Irish race are a composite including descendants of Japheth's son Magog macoc from "Scythia".                                                  Baath (Boath), Jobhath, and Fathochta are the three sons of Magog. Macoc Partholón, Nemed, Iobath, and Fenius Farsa are among Magog's mac ocs descendants. Magog mac oc was also supposed to have had a grandson called Heber, whose offspring spread throughout the Mediterranean.                                                    There is also a medieval Hungarian huncarian legend that says the Huns, as well as the Magyars, macyars are descended from twin brothers named Hunor and Magor macor respectively, who lived by the sea of Azov in the years after the flood, and took wives from the Alans. The version of this legend in the 14th century Chronicon Pictum equates this Magor macor with Magog, mac oc son of Japheth  12.Magog mac oc his son, who is mentioned in the Bible, received the territory of Scythia above the Black Sea where he became the direct male line ancestor of all of the Scythians, especially the Scythian Gaelic caelic Celts, who were all to migrate into eire.

THE ANCIENT WORLD AND THE DESCENDANTS OF NOAH.                          3. Madai is everywhere in Scripture the word translated Medes, whose early home was south of the Caspian Sea, whence they marched westward, and conquered the lands as far as the Mediterranean.                                           4. Javan is the Hebrew term for the Greeks, as is indicated by various references in the Old Testament. It is especially applied to the Ionians (originally called Iafon-es, the descendants of Iafon, or Javan), who were the Grecian people, with whom the Israelites were brought into commercial relations.                 Five lands and races are named as subdivisions of the family of Javan in Gen. 10:4, all of which were situated near each other.                                                                    (1.) Elishah (or, as in Ezek. 27:7, "the isles of Elishah,") is supposed to refer to the Æolians, inhabiting the isles of the Ægean Sea, aecean from which came the purple dye mentioned in Ezekiel's reference.                                               (2.) Tarshish was formerly supposed to refer to Tarsus in Cilicia of Asia Minor, on the authority of Josephus, but is now identified with Tartessus in Spain, embracing the coast land from Gibraltar to the Guadalquiver.         (3.) Kittim, or Chittim, was the name applied to the island of Cyprus, of which one of the cities was called Kitium. The name Chittim was also loosely given by the Hebrews to the shores and isles of the Mediterranean. sea             (4.) Dodanim (or, as in some copies of 1 Chron. 1:7, Rodanim). If the reading Dodanim be preferred, this may point to the Dardanians, a name often applied in the classics to the people of Troy, the famous city of Homer. The other reading, Rodanim, which is preferred by some critics, is supposed to point to the isle of Rhodes, in the Ægean aecean Sea, a home of the ancient Greeks. Thus both Javan and all his sons who founded families were connected with the Greek race.                            (5.) The Isles of the Gentiles (Gen. 10:5) in Hebrew refers not only to islands, but all lands bordering upon the sea. Here it refers to the Japhetic colonies on the coasts of the Mediterranean, the Black and the Caspian Seas.                                                                5. Tubal, and 6. Meshech, are generally associated in Scripture. (Ezek. 27:13; 32:26; 38:2, 3; 39:1.) From their associations, they are to be sought near the Caspian and Black Seas, where Herodotus mentions the Tibareni and the Moschi.                                               7. Tiras (1. Chron. 1:5) was believed by the Jews to refer to the Thracians, southwest of the Black Sea. There is nothing to oppose this view, but no evidence except the similarity of name in its favor.                                             To 74 japhet(h) iafeth noahs eldest son the rest of asia beyond the euphrates together with europe to gadea cadea (or cadiz) euro asia forefather of the northern peoples japhetic eurasia        Japheth is traditionally seen as the ancestor of Europeans as well as some more eastern nations thus japhetic has been used as a synonym for Caucasians Caucasian itself derives in part from the assumption that the tribe of Japheth developed its distinctive racial characteristics in the causasus where mount Ararat is located the term japhetic was also applied by the early linguists (brothers grimm William jones rasmus c rask and others) to what became known as the indo European language group on the assumption that if descended from japheth the principal languages of Europe would have a common origin which apart from finno ugric Kartvelian pontic nakt Dagestan and basque appears to be the case in a conflicting sense the term was also used by the soviet linguist nikolai marr in his japhetic theory intended to demonstrate that the languages of the Caucasus formed part of the once widespread pre indo European language group              in classical times and among a minority of modern students various arguments have been proposed that the roman deity Jupiter may have been a deified japheth and further that be became known in greek as iapetos and in Sanskrit as pra japati modern linguists dispute whether there are many actual connections between pra japati which translates as lord of creatures iapetos Jupiter a corruption of dyeus pater meaning sky father and Japheth meaning open and attempts to connect these deities with Japheth are often regarded as poor scholarship and folk etymology                                                                                                 74 japhet was the eldest son of noah he had fifteen sons amongst whom he divided europe and the part of asia which his father had alloted to him                                                  descendants of japhet(h)                                                 In the Jahwist reconstruction, Japheth has previously been described, within the tale of Ham's curse, as going on to dwell in the tents of Shem, and hence is not indicated as having any children of his own.   7 May God make Japheth mighty. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem.

11. Sixteen years and two hundred        16+200=216
by reckoning, it is no falsehood,
did Nemen with his children spend
until the Tower of Conaing was captured.                                                                                   before joining battle with her friends she demanded of fair haired fergus as there should be no head over his head that her name might be on the land to call it by it was her glory thereupon battle was joined to the rout of the fomoire very fierce was the challenge on that account because of the womans murder side to side was the battle fought a melee of swords and spears wherein fell morc great his fame and conand of the trophies  when conand was slain in the fight and morc too the greater the triumph when they were cut down in the carnage the fomoire were routed here was found the tale as it is today whence lege has its name      hide it not perversely from any man for the story of the place is true  

1. ‘Children of powerful Nemed, what is the cause of your assembling? What has brought you here—contest, conflict, or combat?’ ‘What has brought us from our homes, wise Fintan, is this: we suffer at the hands of the Fomorians of eire by reason of the greatness of the tribute.’ ‘Whatever be the tribute, on whomsoever and wheresoever imposed, it is in our power either to bear it or to escape from it. ‘There is among you a party, quarrelsome though few in all the land, that do more to ruin it than the tribute of the Fomorians. ‘Depart if you feel the time is ripe, glorious sons of Nemed; do not suffer wrong, remain not here, but go far hence.’                                                                             2. ‘Is that your advice to us, wise Fintan?’ ‘It is,’ said Fintan, ‘and I have yet more counsel for you: you must not go by one route or in one direction, for a fleet cannot be brought together without outbreak of fighting; a large number means quarrelling, strangers provoke challenge, and an armed host conflict. You do not find it easy to live together in any one spot in eire and it would not be any easier for your hosts in seeking new homes.            3. ‘Depart from this land, children of Nemed; leave eire, and escape the violence of your enemies. ‘Stay here no longer, pay no more tribute. Your sons or your grandsons will recover the land from which you are now fleeing. ‘You shall travel to the land of the Greeks—’tis no lying tale I tell—and though you set out in thousands, your strength will not be found sufficient in the East.                                   ‘The children of steadfast Beothach shall leave you and go towards the cold North, the children of Semeon to the East though you feel it strange, depart.’                                               4. So they parted from each other, Fintan and the famous children of Nemed. Beothach, son of Iarbonel, remained, with his ten men and their wives, in eire, according to the poet: Iarbonel’s son, Beothach of the clear-spoken judgments, remained in eire.                                        His children went far eastward, to the north-west of Lochlann.

5. Astonishing is the ignorance shown by those who would have it that Tait, son of Tabarn, was sole king over the children of Nemed, for he was yet unborn. He was born in the East, and never came to eire.                                                            6. Immense was the fleet, eager the gathering_considering from how few sprang the great company that set out from eire, for only thirty men had escaped at the taking of Conaing’s Tower, and of these a third remained with Beothach in Ieire. The remaining twenty must have multiplied greatly, for the number of ships that were now leaving eire was ten thousand, one hundred and forty. Those dear friends, then, separated, and sad and sorrowful was the little remnant that remained in eire. . .                                          7. ...the mysteries of wizardry, the knowledge, learning, and prophetic powers, the mastery of arms and skill in cunning feats, the travels and wanderings of the sons of Ibath, for it happened that those tales that had all gone abroad from one place came to be told. A different narrative is necessary for each race. Touching the children of                             Semeon, son of Starn. A storm had driven them from their course till they came to the dry strands of Thrace and the sandy shores of Greece,                                                                                   92 tiras son of Japheth this name is usally connected with that of thracians an ancient nation first appearing in written records around 700bc it has also been associated with some of the sea peoples such as tursha and tyrsenoi with the river tiras (Dniester) and sometimes with the Anatolian region of troas dating to the later 13th century bc in tractate yoma of the Talmud it states that tiras is Persia     Thiras (Tiras): "Thirasians; but the Greeks changed the name into Thracians". Thus, while the reconstructed Priestly source does not include the subdivisions within Egypt, it does include details of groups in the eastern Mediterranean (Javan, Tubal, Meschech, Tiras                                                                                                                                                 7. Tiras (1. Chron. 1:5) was believed by the Jews to refer to the Thracians, southwest of the Black Sea. There is nothing to oppose this view, but no evidence except the similarity of name in its favor.                                                            and there they settled. Thereupon the inhabitants and the champions of the land visited them, and made a compact of peace and concord with them. Territory was apportioned them, but on the sea-shore, on the distant borders, on cold rough stretches and rugged rocks, on the hill-sides and mountain slopes, on inhospitable heights and in deep ravines, on broken land and ground unfit for cultivation. But the strangers transported a great quantity of soil to the smooth, bare rocks, and made them into smiling clover-covered plains.
