Good morning on this last Saturday of August. In today's blog we look at the descendants of Noah's son, Ham, who inhabited parts of Asia, Southern Europe, and Northern Africa. Here is where his descendants settled:
Cush - Southern Egypt, Abyssinia, Nubia, and Ethiopia
Seba - Sudan
Havilia - Yemen
Sabtah - East of Yemen
Raamah - Southwest Arabia
Sabtah - Eastern part of Persian Gulf
Nimrod - Mesopotamia, Asshur, Nineveh, and Babylon
Mizraim - Egypt and to its East
Ludim - North Africa
Anamim - Northern and Middle Egypt
Lehabim - Related to Libyans
Naphtuhim - Northern Egypt, Thebes, and Memphis
Pathrusim - Upper Egypt
Casluhim - Nile Delta in Egypt
Caphtorium - Nile Delta in Egypt
Phut - Egypt and Libya
Sidon - Phoenicia, City of Sidon
Canaan, Heth, Jubusite, Amorite, Girgashite, Hivite - All originally in parts of Palestine as Canaanites, Hittites, Jubusites, Amorites, Girgashites, and Hivites
Arkite - North of Sidon
Sinite - North of Lebanon
Arvadite - Island off coast of Phoenicia
Zemarite - West of Galilee
Hamathite - Upper Syria
As you can see, the descendants of Ham occupy a large part of the Table of Nations in Genesis chapter 10. In our next blog, (two weeks from today because of Labor Day weekend) we'll apply this Table to the Bible's prophecies yet to be fulfilled.
Tomorrow's sermon is entitled, The Focus of God's Purpose For Church. I'll look forward to seeing you there.
