	Japheth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japheth (יֶפֶת / יָפֶת "enlarge", Standard Hebrew Yéfet / Yáfet, Tiberian Hebrew Yép̄eṯ / Yāp̄eṯ) is one of the sons of Noah in the Bible.
		The link between Japheth and the Europeans stems from Genesis 10:5, which states that the sons of Japheth moved to the "isles of the Gentiles," commonly believed to be the Greek isles.
		In the Bible, Japheth is ascribed seven sons: Gomer, Magog, Tiras, Javan, Meshech, Tubal, and Madai.

	Sons of Noah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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 a once-widespread pre-Indo-European language group.
		In classical times, and among a minority of modern students, arguments have been proposed that Jupiter was actually a deified Japheth, and that the Greeks knew him as 'Iapetos', the Indian Sanskrit as 'Pra-Japati', and the Romans as 'Iu-Pater', a hypothesised antecedent to 'Jupiter'.

		It was predicted of Japheth that his descendants would occupy wide territories, and that they would "dwell in the tents of Shem" (Gen 9:20–27).

		Japheth, it seems, had gone to town to warn his countrymen about their impending doom, which only served to enrage them, and he would have died prior to the flood had not Goldie saved his life.
		Japheth remains estranged, but Noah's attention is now directed to his wife, who feels ill and needs reassurance from her now much-younger husband.

		The beauty of Japheth, that is, the Greek language, shall be in the tents of Shem (Megillah 9b).
		Japheth’s appreciation of beauty is deeply significant, but only if it is placed at the service of the spiritual truths represented by Shem.
		Thus it is the intent of the text to merge the characters and characteristics of Shem and Japheth.

		The immediate descendants of Japheth were seven in number, and are represented by the nations designated Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Mesech, and Tiras; or, roughly, the Armenians, Lydians, Medes, Greeks, Tibarenians, and Moschians, the last, Tiras, remaining still obscure.
		In Gen. 9:27, as in other passages, Japheth occupies the 3rd place in the enumeration of the sons of Noah, but he is really regarded as the 2nd son, Ham being the youngest.
		Japheth and Iapetos: It seems unlikely that the Greek giant-hero, Iapetos, father of Prometheus, who was regarded by the Greeks as the father of the human race, has any connection with the Hebrew Japheth.

		Neiman (1973) observes the origin of the descendants of Japheth in the Table of Nations as located in the region of Hellas and the islands of the Aegean Sea (p.122).
		Josephus understands some of Japheth's descendants to be Greek nations- Javan is Ionia, Elishah is Aeolis (a province adjacent to Ionia), Tarshish is Tarsus, Kittim is Cyprus (from the seaport of Kition, Latin: Citium).
		Under this latter paradigm, the "blessing for Japheth" by Noah originated before the Exile in Josiah's policies and "re-surfaced" in the 560 BCE composition of the Exile.

		In general terms, we may say that the north was assigned to Japheth, the south to Ham, and the middle territory to Shem, whereas Canaan was beaten asunder or "scattered abroad" throughout the earth.

		The record of Japheth's spread (enlargement) over the earth has been marred consistently by his destruction of the cultures which were already in existence wherever he arrived in sufficient force to achieve dominion.

		Ezekiel prophesied that a confederation of the descendants of Japheth, primarily the descendants of Magog, Meshech and Tubal, would band together to attack the nation of Israel at a future date when a remnant of Israel had been called back from the nations to reinhabit the land of Canaan.
		Therefore, our map of the Table of Nations is somewhat outdated, as many of the descendants of Japheth had converted from a sedentary existence to a nomadic lifestyle of pillage and plunder, leaving behind their ancestral homelands in the process.

		Jehovah was the God of Shem, yet Japheth should dwell in his tents (Gen. 9:26, 27); now He becomes known as "the God of Abraham," but all families of the ground should be blessed in him and his seed.

		Japheth: The father of all the Indo-European peoples, it would be surpizing if his name had gone unremembered among them.

		It is important to notice that modern ethnological science, reasoning from a careful analysis of facts, has arrived at the conclusion that there is a three-fold division of the human family, corresponding in a remarkable way with the great ethnological chapter of the book of Genesis 10.

	The Table of the Nations
		All that Japhethic people do is to develop the philosophy of science and apply technology, but the discovery of these are largely traceable to the Hamitic peoples of the earth.
		Shem was mainly motivated by spiritual considerations, Japheth by intellectual, and Ham by physical; and the same would be true (in a very general way, of course) of the nations descending from them, by reasons of both genetic inheritance and parental example.
		As Shem and Japheth had unitedly shown respect to their father and their father's God, so they would unitedly worship "the' Lord God of Shem." The Hamites, on the other hand, by implication would not do so, but would presumably follow other gods of their own devising.
