Using Bullinger’s King James Version Companion Bible (Kregel)
Psalm [9:17] “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”
These are the 70 nations that did begin from the offspring of Noah as they became known after the flood of Genesis. The study will cover the times just before the Genesis flood, and continuing after the Tower of Babel event.
Noah was the 10th patriarchal generation in the adamic lineage. He was 500 years old when he fathered 3 sons before the flood, who then would produce their own sons after the flood. Altogether, the count of Noah’s sons, grandsons, great-grandsons as noted by the Genesis scripture total to 70.
These 70 nations began after the flood, and soon after the tower of Babel event men were confounded by having their common language changed into another separate language unrecognizable to other people at the land of Babel. This is where men who were rebelling against God did not obey God’s command to go over the lands, and begin to repopulate it. Instead they stubbornly began to create a different religious order, that did not offer any respect for the true living God, YHVH.
Nimrod’s governed community began building a tall tower (Ziggurat).
More on the topic of the Tower of Babel and Nimrod can be found in another study here:
http:www.ourgoodshepherd.com/nimrod
Due to direct intervention by the Elohim, these men of Babel were confounded from continuing to be united together in their stance against God and the particular purpose he commanded them to pursue after the flood was over, and God promised to never do such action again against mankind.
The action produced and effect on each person so that they could only
speak and understand a different language other than that they knew before.
Luke [17:26] “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.”
[ed: Continuing on to the purpose of Noah’s flood that is going to take
place in that part of the Earth where the “sons of God” (satan’s angels).
Jesus said that this same wickedness and the intrusion of angels (“sons of God”) would take place again in the very last days of this Earth age.]
Luke [17:27] “They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.”
[ed: Just as it was written down in Genesis, and taught again by Jesus, it will once again happen at the last days of this current Earth age.]
Genesis [5:28] “And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:”
Genesis [5:29] “And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.”
Genesis [5:32] “And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japhet.”
[ed: There was in the land, a continuing of great wicked, unrepentant behaviors by the men of the Earth and that was also the time when certain “sons of God” (angels not born of women) began to arrive and reproduce hybrid offspring (“nephilim” which that are 1/2 human and 1/2 angel).
These angels began to first appear during the generation of Jared, the
great-great grandfather of Noah and the 5th generation from Adam.
This part of the Earth will be cursed by God, and all life thereof will die from that curse.
God is going to intercede because the Nephilim are a threat to the bloodline of Adamic generations that would follow. The only other family that had not been involved with the genetic mutations of these nephilim was Noah’s family. The nephilim are not just a hybrid being, but they are large in physical stature, and called as giants, rephaim, gibbers, etc.
Their existence would even continue on after Noah’s flood, and until the time of David (who would finally slay the last nephilim remnants. The continuing incursion by the “sons of God” can bee seen in Genesis [6:4] , as the actual Hebrew text is very revealing.]
Genesis [6:4] “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”
(Hebrew text of Genesis [6:4] per the true Masoretic text (MSS))

[ed: A flood will appear in the area of the world where these Nephilim and
their offspring had lived – so that Noah’s sons could begin to replenish the lands once again.]
Genesis [7:6] “And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.”
[ed: 150 Earth days did pass from the time the Ark’s door was closed until it was opened again after the flood waters receded.]
Genesis [9:1] “And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”
Genesis [9:7] “And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.”
Genesis [9:8] “And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,”
Genesis [9:9] “And I, behold, I establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you;”
[ed: God wants Noah and his 3 sons together with their wives to replenish to Earth. To do that the people will need to spread across the lands and take up their residence in new areas. God does not want them to stay together in a single area.
He has promised that no such destruction by water will ever occur again. At this point, men of Noah’s family are speaking of a single language.
Next, Noah is drunk and apparently very unaware of what will take place between his own son Ham, and his wife (Ham’s own mother, Noah’s wife).]
Genesis [9:18] “And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.”
Genesis [9:19] “These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.”
Genesis [9:22] “And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.”
[ed: Note that as also found in Genesis [9:18], Ham is named as Canaan’s natural father.]
Genesis [9:23] “And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and sent backward, and covered the nakedness of the father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.”
[ed: What is the term “father’s nakedness” mean ? It means to lay down with your own father’s wife for sexual relations.]
Leviticus [18:8] “The nakedness of thy father’s wife shat thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.”
[ed: Below you can see that Shem and Japeth will be blessed by Noah while Ham does not get any blessing at all. Canaan, who was just conceived by Ham and his own mother, has been cursed by Noah.
Next, Noah is speaking through the 4 verses, not God. ]
Genesis [9:24] “And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.”
[ed: Ham is the youngest of the 3 sons, Japheth is the oldest, see
Genesis [10:21].]
Genesis [9:25] “And he said, “Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall be unto his brethren.”
Genesis [9:26] “And he said, “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.”
Genesis [9:27] “God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.”
[ed: Verses 25 through 27 indicate that Noah would curse against Canaan and his descendants while Noah was alive, and that they would serve for Japeth and also Shem, and among the Shemites (Semites) would these servers live.]
[ed: After Ham’s 4th son Canaan is cursed by Noah, Ham would move away from the family clan with his sons. The scripture below will indicate that he initially moved on to the area of Southern Egypt/Sudan.
While scripture does not indicate if and where Ham travels to next, there is historical evidence that he went towards Sumer, and Hams’ son Cush and Hams’ grandson Nimrod would become quite notorious men and set up a kingdom and religious practices that are against God.]
[ed: The grandson of Noah, son of Ham, named Canaan, is NOT the same Patriarch of the land of “Canaan”. The land known as Canaan seems to be derived from the Hurrian language (a close neighboring nation) for the color purple, as the Greeks called the Canaanite people as “Phoenicians” (Greek for purple).
The Phoenicians worked in purple dye (ships and divers) and so were called by the Greeks “purple people”, from the purple dye of Murex shells.
W. F. Albright, on the other hand, explained the word “kinahhu” as a genuine Hurrian adjective which precisely meant “purple”, “Canaan” thus being a Hurrian appellation of Phoenicia as the country of purple dye.

[ed: With each group of the 3 son’s descendants defined by verses Genesis[10:2-32], we have a simple list of their names and their inherited land areas that they traveled to after the tower of babel occurred.]
Genesis [10:1] “Now these are THE GENERATIONS OF THE SONS OF NOAH, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.”
[ed: Note the 3 sons are listed in reverse order of their ages. The oldest son was Japheth, then Shem, then Ham as per Genesis [10:21] .
[ed: Note that each group of the 3 son’s own descendant sons will be listed out of order irregardless of the ages of the 3 sons; first group is of Japheth’s, then Ham’s, then Shem’s. ]
[ed: After each son, is a simple list of their related descendants found in the book of 1st Chronicles [1:1-23] along with their initial migrations into certain locations, and note how the major groups of these 70 nations stay, broadly speaking, within the general area of the ancient middle eastern world.]
14 (descending sons of Japheth) +
30 (descending sons of Ham) +
26 (descending sons of Shem)
—
70 total descendants of Noah (each becomes one of 70 nations after
the Tower of Babel event).

Genesis [10:2] “The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.”
Genesis [10:3] “And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.”
Genesis [10:4] “And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.”
Genesis [10:5] “By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.”
[ed: Javan’s sons in particular, will move into the lands that were previously occupied by the people of the Mediterranean “isles”.]

Genesis [10:6] “And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.”
Genesis [10:7] “And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.”
[ed: We see below that the next 5 verses will relate only to Nimrod. A separate study on the subject of Nimrod is available here:
http://www.ourgoodshepherd.org/nimrod ]
Genesis [10:8] “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.”
Genesis [10:9] “He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, “Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.”
Genesis [10:10] “And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.”
Genesis [10:11] “Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh (and the city Rehoboth) and Calah,”
Genesis [10:12] “And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.”
Genesis [10:13] “And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,”
Genesis [10:14] “And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.”
Genesis [10:15] “And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,”
Genesis [10:16] “And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,”
Genesis [10:17] “And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,”
Genesis [10:18] “And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.”
[ed: The above verses 16 through 18 offer the tribal name of the sons, while not explicitly naming the actual sons. Here is the list of the sons names:
Jesbus ( Jebusites ),
Amor ( Amorite s),
Girgash ( Girgasite s),
Hiv ( Hivites ),
Ark ( Arkites ),
Sin ( Sinites ),
Arvad ( Arvadites ),
Zemar ( Zemarites ),
Hamat ( Hamathites ).
It is interesting that many of the future generations of Canaan’s decedents will become mixed with the “sons of God” angles, who did mate with the daughters of Adam seedline, creating a hybrid being that is half angelic and half human. These beings are called the “Nephilim” in the scripture text. There is a separate study on the Nephilim here:

Genesis [10:19] “And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as Sidon, as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.”
Genesis [10:20] “These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.”
Genesis [10:21] “Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.”
[ed: This infers that Japeth is older than Shem, but Ham is not older than Shem, for Ham is younger than Shem. Ham is the youngest – see also Genesis [9:24].
Japeth is the oldest of Noah’s 3 sons. Ham is the youngest. Shem was born in between his brothers – the middle son.]

[ed: Below, to show that Egypt is designated as the land of Ham.]
Psalms [78:51] “And smote all the firstborn in Egypt;
The chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:”
Psalms [105:23] “Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.”
[ed: While Ham went to the Southern area of Egypt-Sudan, his particular son “Cush” and his own son “Nimrod” would be historically and biblically linked to the city states found in the Mesopotamia (middle rivers) region. The Hamites did spread across South Nile Valley into Sumer. The are consists of Eridu/Babylon/Kish/Akkad and these cities and their kings evolving into greater nations in that general area over time.]
Shem –
Genesis [10:22] “The children of Shem; Elam, and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.”
Genesis [10:23] “And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.”
[ed: The Hebrew people will be born through the lineage of “Eber/Heber”. Below, Abraham (Abram) will be born in 6 subsequent generations after Eber, 19th generation of Adam lineage.
(Eber, Pelig, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abram).]
Genesis [10:24] “And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.”
[ed: Notice also that this verse conflicts with the error of Luke [3:36].
In the Hebrew manuscripts there is no “Cainan” in the lineage of Noah.
The only “Cainan” in Jesus Christ’s lineage is the fourth from Adam, the
of Enos, as recorded in Genesis [5:10].]
Luke [3:35] “Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber (Eber), which was the son of Sala (Salah). “
Luke [3:36]”Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,”
[ed: There really was no ” Cainan ” between ” Arphaxad ” and ” Sala “. It is a falsehood introduced into a certain version of the Greek Septuagint bible by a corrupt translator. There are now other Septuagint versions that do not have this error, but the “Book of Luke” write used a corrupt Septuagint for reference. and unfortunately captured this error in that text.

Genesis [10:25] “And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.”
Genesis [10:26] “And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmabeth, and Jerah,”
Genesis [10:27] “And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Dikah,”
Genesis [10:28] “And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,”
Genesis [10:29] “And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.”
Genesis [10:30] “And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.”
Genesis [10:31] “These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.”
[ed: The separation of the people occurred according to the list of factors shown above, the “lands”, the “tongues”, the “families”, and the “nations”. This according to each of Noah’s 3 sons.]
Genesis [10:32] “These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.”
[ List of Shem’s 26 total descendants ]
Elam –
(persian elam)
Assur –
(assyria) (AKA “Asshur”. Syria and Assyria were different countries,
but the Greeks called them both “Syria”. One should know
that the original people of these areas were not the same kind
but that the Assyria people were close to that of the Kingdom of
Babylonia for the captial city was called “Nineveh” built per
Nimrod (see Genesis [10:11].
Note: The noun (te’ashur) refers to a kind of tree. This
is actually used in the bible when referencing satan.
“scherbin” tree is same as te’ashur. See Isaiah[60:13],
Daniel[4:12], Ezekiel[31:6]), Isaiah[14:8].
Arphaxad –
(chaldean babylonia)
(* Please see note (Luke [3:36]) just below about a fictitious
man named “Cainan” being inserted into the older Greek
Septuagint bible text of the verse of Luke [3:36] in between
the names of Arphaxad and Salah/Sala.
There are even older editions of the Septuagint that do not
carry this name “Cainan” in the book of Luke, but they were
only discovered only relatively recently.)
Salah
Eber
Pelig
Joktan

Uz

Hul
(syria)
Gether
(disputed, possibly of north hindu kush, central greece)
Mash
(unknown)
*Luke [3:36] has a supposed “Cainan” name inserted between Arphaxad
and Salah (Sala), to make it appear that Cainan was the first descedent
of Arphaxad while also being the father of “Sala” when in fact “Cainan”
did not even truly exist – it is a complete fabrication – a lie.
The Apocrypha book called “book of Jubliees”, which conflicts greatly with the book of Genesis, also promotes this same error of inserting “Cainan” into the seedline of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
[ed: For more info on the subject of the false “Cainan” in the book of Luke, please see link at:
http://www.ourgoodshepherd.org/false-cainan
]
[ed: In the list back to Adam, the patriarchal lineage does have a man named “Cainan” as the direct descendant of Enos per Genesis [5:9], but this “Cainan” is not the same man nor located in the expected place in the patriarch list.]
This 2nd “Cainan” was intentionally inserted into Noah’s son Shem’s lineage. This “Cainan” was inserted between the names of “Arphaxad” and “Sala” in the Greek Septuagint text of the book of Luke [3:36].]
Genesis [5:1] “This is The BOOK OF THE GENERATIONS OF ADAM. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him;”
Genesis [5:2] “Male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.”
Genesis [5:3] “And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:”
[ed: Note that Eve was of Adam’s likeness as well as she was created
from his genetic material, and so Seth would also carry forth Adam’s true
complete natural likeness. Adam himself was made in the likeness of God in Genesis [5:1].]
Genesis [5:6] “And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:”
Genesis [5:9] “And Enos lived ninety years and begat Cainan:”
Genesis [5:12] “And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:”
[ed: Another true reference to the patriarchal lineage of fathers can be found at Genesis [11:10]. ]
Genesis [11:10] “These are THE GENERATIONS OF SHEM:
Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood.”
Genesis [11:11] “And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.”
Genesis [11:12] “And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:”
Genesis [11:14] “And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:”
Genesis [11:15] “And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.”
[ed: Once again the Hebrew text does not show this “Cainan” being an offspring of Arphaxad and although this “Cainan” is found inside more recent version of the Septuagint, the older versions did not have that name in Shem’s linage.]
