Bible Question:
From www.zionministry.com I reviewed a chart called Nations of the World that chronicles the descendents of the sons of Noah. This chart shows the European nations such as France, Germany,Sweden, etc. coming from the line of Shem, the son from whom the Israelites come. From www.freemaninstitue.com, it states the same European nations descended from Japeth, the oldest son. My Bible study group is confused by this conflicting information. Which one is correct?

Bible Answer: Chusarcik: The study of the nations of Genesis 10 is fascinating but can be a bit confusing. If you own or can get your hands on a Scofield, you may benefit from his notes on Genesis 10. Scofield names Japheth as the progenitor of Europe, or at least parts of it. --Hank |
