Shalom and welcome to Team D Bible Study! Are the Nations and Gentiles one in the same or distinct from each other? If they are distinct, how should people view themselves in light of these tribal classifications? In this Bible study, the ‘Table of Nations’ is discussed as the generations of Shem, Ham and Japheth are detailed in Bereshit/Genesis 10. The defendants forming the nations of each of Noah’s sons play a pivotal role in shaping the region now geopolitically called ‘The Middle East’. The variations between the Masoretic and Septuagint is apparent in this chapter as one text highlights offspring not mentioned in the other.
