Genesis
Chapter 10
1-5
1 These are the descendants of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, to whom sons were born after the flood.
2 The descendants of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
3 The descendants of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 The descendants of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim, and the Rodanim.
5 These are the descendants of Japheth, and from them sprang the maritime nations, in their respective lands--each with its own language--by their clans within their nations.
Reflection: Again we see how each person is important in the bible. We are given the information to trace ourselves back to Noah just like we had been given the information to trace back to Adam. We are a family. This story is shared as if we know these people because in a family we would.
