Man living at the time of the Patriarchs
Japheth
Noah’s middle son, younger than Shem and older than Ham (Genesis 10:21; 9:24), on the ark with him (Genesis 7:13). He and Shem covered their father in the tent (Genesis 9:23). Noah blessed him: “May God enlarge Japheth” (Genesis 9:27). His sons were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras (Genesis 10:2), and from them came the peoples of the coastlands to the north and west (Genesis 10:5).
