Japheth. 6. Ham. 8. Nimrod becomes the first monarch; the descendants of Canaan. 21. The sons of Shem. And sons were also born to Shem The phrase highlights the continuation of the human lineage through Shem, one of Noah's sons. In Hebrew, "Shem" means "name" or "renown," indicating the significance of his lineage. Shem's descendants are traditionally associated with the Semitic peoples, including the Israelites. This phrase underscores the fulfillment of God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 9:1), emphasizing the divine blessing on Shem's line. the older brother of Japheth Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber The nations descended from Shem were:-- 1. Elam.--According to Mr. Sayce (Chald. Gen., p. 196), "the primitive inhabitants of Elam were a race closely allied to the Accadians, and spread over the whole range of country which stretched from the southern shores of the Caspian to the Persian Gulf." But just as the Semitic Asshur expelled a Hamite race from Assyria, so another branch of this conquering family occupied Elymais. It is now called Chuzistan, and was the most easternly of the countries occupied by the Semites. But see Excursus to Genesis 14 on the conquests of the Elamite Chedorlaomer. 2. Asshur.--This Semitic stock seems to have been the first to settle on the Tigris, as the Hamites were the first to settle on the Euphrates. Finally, as we have seen (Genesis 10:11), they conquered the whole country. 3. Arphaxad.--Heb., Arpachshad. We may dismiss the idea that he was connected with the region called Arrapachitis, for this correctly is Aryapakshata, "the land next the Aryans." Really he appears as the ancestor of Eber and the Joktanite Arabs. 4. Lud.--Probably the Lydians, who, after various wanderings, settled in Asia Minor. 5. Aram.--As Asshur means plain, so Aram means highland. It was originally the name of the Lebanon ranges, and thus Damascus is called Aram in 2Samuel 8:5. Subsequently the race so extended itself as to possess Mesopotamia, a lowland country, but called, as early as Genesis 24:10, "Aram of the two rivers." The greatness of Aram will be best seen by examining those places in our version where Syria and Syrian are spoken of, and which, in the Hebrew, are really Aram. . . .
