Year of the Bible: Part One of TwelveSample

Nations Descending from Noah's Son, Japheth.

Stop here and read today's scriptures.

Question: Where did the sons of Japheth go, and what nations did they establish?

Prayer Focus: God wants our descendants to spread His fame. Pray for your descendants to be a blessing and to accomplish the purposes for which God created them.

Go Deeper: The Baker Illustrated Study Bible tells us that in Luke 10:1, Jesus sent out the seventy (or seventy-two) disciples; he reflects the Genesis 10 list of the seventy nations in the then-known world, sending his disciples into every part of that world. Japheth went the farthest from Palestine, and most of the nations/places mentioned here are in the Mediterranean islands and Asia Minor.
