=3.= _Enoch_] Hebrew Ḥanôkh. In verse 33 the same name is more correctly rendered Hanoch, but the Revised Version not unwisely has here retained the famous name in the form (derived through the Vulgate from the LXX.) with which the Authorized Version has made us familiar; compare Genesis iv. 17, and v. 21. =5‒23.= THE GENEALOGY OF THE NATIONS. The table which follows is taken from Genesis x. 2‒29. It is geographical rather than ethnological, i.e. neighbouring nations are regarded as having the same descent. The world as then known is divided into three areas of which that in the north and west is assigned to the Sons of Japheth (5‒7), the southern to the Sons of Ham, and the middle and eastern to the Sons of Shem (17‒23). Had the arrangement been according to actual descent the Semitic Zidonians, for instance, would not be described as the offspring of Ham (verse 13). The passage, when analysed, divides as follows: 5‒9 (a general table of the descendants of Japheth and Ham), 10‒16 (an appendix to the descendants of Ham), 17 (a general table of the descendants of Shem), 18‒23 (an appendix to the descendants of Shem). Of these four sections, the general tables, verses 5‒9 and 17, belong to the “Priestly” narrative of the Hexateuch, whilst the two appendices, verses 10‒16, 18‒23, are from the earlier narrative known as J. For a full examination of the many interesting questions raised by this account of the origin of the nations known to the Israelites the reader must be referred to the commentaries on Genesis where such discussion is appropriate (see Ryle, _Genesis_, in this series; or more fully Skinner, _Genesis_, pp. 188 ff.). Here a few remarks of a general character must suffice.
