| Jun 12, 2018 at 10:42 | comment | added | Luke Sawczak | Re: OP's comment above, sometimes the best answer is just a commented catalogue of what learned people have thought over the years. Who do you want to arbitrate between eminent scholars? | |
| May 4, 2018 at 1:11 | comment | added | Alex | Also the genealogical listing in Chapter 10 lists Japheth then Ham and Shem last. This is brought as evidence by Gersonides that "qaton" cannot be referring to Ham. | |
| May 4, 2018 at 0:38 | comment | added | Alex | Perhaps also noteworthy is that Genesis 10:21 seems to say that Japheth was older than Shem (though granted some translations differ). cc @user20490 | |
