I. The generations of the sons of Noah. Genesis 10:1
A. Shem
B. Ham
C. Japheth
“The majority of scholars and Bible historians agree that most of the descendants of Shem stayed in the Middle East. These include the Hebrews, Persians and Assyrians.
The descendants of Ham include the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Canaanites, Phoenicians and Hittites. His descendants appear to be the first to fill the earth, as they were the early settlers of Africa, Asia, Australia, the South Pacific and the Americas.
The descendants of Japheth migrated into Europe and parts of Central Asia. The Greeks, Romans, Spanish, Celts, Scythians and Medes were Japheth's descendants.
Some people groups merged to form one nation, as did the Persians (Shem) and the Medes (Japheth), which later became the Medo-Persian empire.”
