4 Our ancestor Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. From these, three distinct nations arose.

The history of Israel begins with the creation of the world.

5 The sons of Japheth fathered the nations north of Israel. They were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 6 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Diphath, and Togarmah.
