...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed.

Relatively Speaking

Shem and his descendants:

Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 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. And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 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
.
-Genesis 10:21-32***Noah, his wife, their sons Japheth, Shem and Ham, and each son's wife were the only people alive on Earth and living in an ark with food and animals during a rainfall of 40 days and nights and the subsequent flood, according to the will of the Lord God. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible describe the first descendants of Japheth in Genesis 10:2-5 and 1 Chronicles 1:5-7. The first descendants of Ham are described in Genesis 10:6-20 and 1 Chronicles 1:8-16. The first descendants of Shem are described in Genesis 10:21-31, Genesis 11:10-32, 1 Chronicles 1:17-54, and in Luke 3:23-38, within the biblical genealogy of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God.-Genesis 1:1-35:29, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-54, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
