The Sons of Shem

The sons of Shem are Elam and Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram

Sons of Shem: Part I (No. 212A)

Elamites became the Persians, the sons of Asshur became the Assyrians, the sons of Arphaxad became the Hebrews, and Aram became the Syrians and the source of the name of the Aramaic language. They also later went north into Armenia.

 the four sons of Aram, Uz founded Trachonitis and Damascus, which is the country between Palestine and Ceolesyria, Ul founded Armenia and Gather the Bactrians, and Mesa the Mesaneans

DURING  HAMMURABBI WAR WITH SODOM AND GOMMORRAH
Abraham first settled with an army in Damascus

Joktan of the Hebrews had thirteen sons:  Elmodad, Saleph, Asermoth, Jera, Adoram, Aizel, Decla, Ebal, Abimael, Sabeus, Ophir, Eulat, and Jobab. He says that these people inhabited Asia from the Indian River, Cophen, and the lands surrounding it. This is modern Kabul and the valley of its river.

The land further towards the Indus is Bactria. Thus, if that is the fact of the matter they seemingly moved through the Arabian Peninsular and most went on to India. The result could be the composite groups of Joktan in what is Afghanistan, Gather in Bactria and then Lud in the Punjab. 


The golden wedge of Ophir refers to the lands of one of the sons of Joktan who settled in Afghanistan or India, and thus the area of Ophir may be from the Hindu Cush into India or perhaps, even more likely, Sri Lanka (Ceylon)


ifth century BCE huge migrations of peoples from Aryans, Persians, Sakas, Scythians, Kushans, Huns, and Greeks moved into the regions where the Pashtuns lived. Later invaders were Muslim Arabs, Central Asian Turkic tribes and Mongols.

The origin and location of the Hebrews is identified with Abraham as coming out of Ur of Chaldea and the sons of Arphaxad are identified with the Akkadian groups in the Mesopotamian plain 
between the children of Asshur, or the Assyrians, and the sons of Elam, who were on the east of the Tigris basin to the Persian plateau.

The Guteans or Guti may well also be associated with the Goths as part of the later Parthian
The sons of Arphaxad are: Salah and Eber (from where the name Hebrew is derived). His sons Peleg and Joktan saw the split in the Hebrews. The sons of Joktan were thirteen in number and occupied the entire eastern area of the Arabian peninsular (Gen. 10:21-32) but many went on into Afghanistan or Pakistan,

The sons of Abraham through Hagar and some of the sons of Keturah, such as Midian, later joined them. The line of Abraham through Peleg was to Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah to Abraham, Nahor and Haran. Abraham was called out of Ur of Chaldee and sent into the land of Canaan.

he Anglo-Saxons came in from the Middle East as part of the horde at the fall of the Parthian Empire from what is now the area of Iraq and the area north of it. That occurred at the end of the second century CE. They moved into the area of NW Europe and the horde split up in various waves. The Anglo-Saxons and Jutes and the associated tribes of Lombards, Danes, Norwegians, Saxons and Fris, split up but retained a similar diversity

Riphath was a son of Japheth and we know that the nobility of these people also claimed descent from Antenor I, King of the Cimmerians, and also from the Trojans.
