Out of that land went forth Asher, one of the sons, and builded Nineveh, and the city of Rehoboth, and Calna, and Rezin, between Nineveh and Calna, the same as a great city, now what happened was, as Nineveh went on, all of these became suburbs, Rehoboth and Calna, Rezin, which was between Nineveh and Calna, it all developed into one huge, huge city, which was really a remarkable city at one time, and that is what it is saying here, the same became that great city, and Mitsrayim became, begat Ludim, Ananim, Lehabim, Naphtuim, and Patruzim, and Kasluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, Kapturim seemed to be the Phoenicians coming there, and Canaan is a particular line we take note of, begat Sidon, Sidon still in the news today, his first born, Heth, where the Hittites came from, and we found thousands of their tablets, 2000 B .C., and the Jebusite, remember they inhabited Jerusalem, Jerusalem was called Jebus, when David went and took the ancient city, it was the city of Jebus, it was called Jebus in ancient times, these are those Canaanites that dwelt in Jerusalem in ancient times, the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Gergesite, the Termite, they're all in here, the Hivite, the Archite, and the Sinite, it seems to spread to the Far East, Sino, China, pointing to the Oriental, very interesting to see the spreading of nations, the Arvidite, and the Zemurite, and the Hamatite, and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad, now one of the interesting things here, by the way, at least to me, is there's no mention of the Rephiam, as we come to the tribes in Canaan, 7 tribes are named in Canaan, the 7 Canaanite tribes, one of them is the Rephiam, there's no mention here in the origin of families, because the Rephiam were a tribe of giants, they had a different origin, there was another outbreak of that kind of perversion, when particularly when Abraham is identified and the Messianic line comes into the open again, there once again is a demonic type of resistance from these tribes of giants, they're not mentioned here in the families that have come from the sons of Noah, and the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, and unto Gaza, as thou goest unto Sodom and Gomorrah, and Adma and Zeboam, even unto Lasha, now we followed them for 5 generations, these are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations, now, unto Shem, there's where our interest is, also the father of all the children of Eber, and it is from Eber that we believe we have our origin of the word Hebrew, from this family of Eber, which was originally the Haburai, which had the sense of those who crossed the river, or was given to Abraham as they went to Canaan, or those who become nomadic, and the Hebrew, by the time they went down to Egypt, under Joseph, were despised by the Egyptians, and called the Haburai, because they considered them by then, anybody nomadic, keeping flocks, instead of farming, was considered the Haburai, we get the word Hebrew from it, and they despised shepherds, so Eber is the family we're looking at here, the brother of Japheth, the elder, even to him were children born, and the children of Shem, Elam, and Asher, are Faxad, Lod, Aram, the children of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gather, and Mash, what a crew, you know, this guy figured none of these long names, I mean, this is, I'm glad he did this, he's got less syllables and four names, some of these other guys got one name, so Uz, Hul, Gather, and Mash, what a crew, you know, the interesting thing here is the children of Shem, Elam, is Persia, very interesting, Asher, the Assyrians, to follow these tribes, you know, it's amazing to go to Israel, and to see the hostility between many of the people there, and to look at them and realize Abraham's blood is running in both their veins, or Shem's blood is running in both their veins, very remarkable, and you know, you hear kind of a generic thing on the news about the Arabs, well, you can be an Arab Christian, you can be an Arab Jew, you can be an Arab Muslim, and an Arab is not anything but someone who was from Arabia, or from the desert, from the south, and lived in the desert, there are Muslims that are there, there are Arabs that are Christians, there are Druze there that are Arabs, and it's a mishmash there, anybody born in that land before 1948, on their birth certificate says they're a Palestinian, whether they're a Christian, a Jew, or an Arab, or a Muslim, but it's very interesting as you study these families, to see that many of their enemies today have the same blood flowing in their veins, and the interesting thing is, God's not losing track of anybody here, we look at the world today and we think, what a remarkable evangelism is taking place in China, what a remarkable evangelism is taking place in the former Soviet Union today, you know, God hasn't lost any of these, the first time he uses the word family in the Bible is as he looks at the sons of Noah, whom he loved, who found grace in his eyes, and he watches his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, spread across the world, you know, the Bible tells us for God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believed would not perish but have everlasting life, God is not losing track of any of these, he actually traces out for us the families that cover the world in a remarkable way, and as we read through this, you know, there's a part of the genealogies of just a drag, and trying to pronounce the names, but there's sometimes when I read through these things and I think, you know, God knew where everybody was, he knew their address, he knew their phone number, there's times when we read about the Israelites, he said their camp between this hill and this valley and this river, and you read through this stuff and you think, oh, let's move on to something, but I say, wait a minute, I think, look, God, what God's saying is he knew exactly where they were on that day, and the remarkable thing about this chapter as I look to me is not just the accuracy historically, but to me, I think it is remarkable God taking note of and watching all of this as mankind spread, whom he loved and whom he would send his son to die for, and how he traces them.
