Japheth
Generation 11 from Adam
Biography
One of Noah's three sons and apparently the oldest, Japheth survived the flood in the ark. When his father Noah was drunk and uncovered, Japheth and Shem respectfully covered him without looking. Japheth became the father of seven sons who populated the coastal lands and islands, including much of Europe and Asia Minor.
Japheth's descendants spread throughout Europe and parts of Asia, and Noah's blessing on him that he would 'dwell in the tents of Shem' suggests future inclusion of Gentiles in God's covenant blessings.
