And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
In Genesis 10, verse 3, the descendants of Gomer are listed as Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. This genealogy traces back to Noah’s son Japheth, who was one of the three sons of Noah after the flood. The names mentioned here are believed to represent different tribes or ethnic groups that emerged from these descendants.
Ashkenaz is associated with a region located in modern-day Turkey, while Riphath is believed to refer to a region in eastern Europe. Togarmah, on the other hand, is thought to represent a people group that resided in the area of Armenia. This genealogy serves to provide an account of the various nations and peoples that descended from the sons of Noah, highlighting the diversity and spread of human civilization after the flood.
