of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in
council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall

    • Japhet, son of Noah and Titea. He was given the rest of Asia beyond the Euphrates, together with Europe to Dades. Japhet had fifteen sons among whom he divided the lands given to him. Among these sons he divided the lands of Europe and a portion of Asia. Japheth fifteen (15) sons seven (7) of which are mentioned by name: Domer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, Tiras. - Ancient Milesius Ancestry Irish Pedigrees or the Origin and Stem of the Irish Nation By John O'Hart- Noah divided the world amongst his three sons, begotten of his wife Titea: viz., to Shem he gave Asia, within the Euphrates, to the Indian Ocean; to Ham he gave Syria, Arabia, and Africa; and to Japhet, the rest of Asia beyong the Euphrates together with Europe to Gadea (or Cadiz). Japhet was the eldest son of Noah. He had fifteen sons, amongst whom he divided Europe and the part of Asia which his father had allotted to him. His descendants were the Picts, the Tiras kingdom, the Thracians who were of Indo-Europeans who lived in the Balken Peninsula. Early Families of the Earth - Descendants of Japheth--Genesis 10:2 [Gen. 10:2]; Moses 8:12, 27; 1 Chronicles 1:4 [ Chr. 1:4]. This man was generally regarded as the father of the Aryan or Indo-European peoples referred to scripturally as gentiles. Japheth's son Madai is usually translated as Medes when referring to his descendants, and Japheth's son Javan has the same name as the Hebrew word for lonians or, generally speaking, the Greeks.

Richard, Litt. D. Lebanon, PA VoL IX No. 1 Living, as we do, in a Pennsylvania-German locality, whose history is so largely made up of the deeds and lives of these people, we are apt to forget that we have in our midst others of Irish blood, some of whom are descended from the great kings and chieftains of that nation and are able to trace their ancestry back to remote ages, even to our first parents in the Garden of Eden. When we think of Ireland we are apt to picture it to ourselves as we have known it in recent years, when it had become a land composed, largely, of poverty-stricken peasants, void of active commercial life, desolate in appearance, and filled with turmoil, fightings and bloodshed. We fail to realize that, at one time, it was probably the most civilized country in the world, a leader in the arts, in science and general culture. The Gaelic race are descended from Gaodhal (Gael), who was fifth in descent from Japheth, the son of Noah, and was a contemporary of Moses, the great Law Giver, a descendant of Shem. Japheth was the ancestor of the Scythians, a name applied to those nations who displayed skill in hunting and the use of the bow. The word is claimed to be derived from the Celtic word "sciot," which signifies a dart or arrow. They worshipped the sun, moon and winds, their chief deity being Odin, or Wodin who was their god of war. They did not dwell in cities nor houses, but in tents, and were continually roving. So the children of Japheth dispersed themselves largely throughout our present Europe. Those in which we are interested made their way to Egypt, thence to Crete, from Crete to Scythia in Europe, that vast tract of country north of the Danube and Black Sea, from Scythia to Africa, across to Spain and from Spain to Ireland. Having promptly departed for their new homes, it is claimed that they took no part with the children of Shem and Ham in their impious attempt at the building of the Tower of Babel. So careful were these Milesian colonists of their genealogies that they maintained a class of men to record and preserve them. These were the Bards and Seannachies (historians) of Ireland. These lists were repeated by them at high solemnities and there verified, being passed from generation to generation until writing came to the aid of the chroniclers, when they were duly recorded and preserved. From these documents was compiled, by the celebrated monarch, King Cormac Mac Art, in the third century of the Christian Era, the history of the Irish nation from the earliest period. This work was called the "Psalter of Tara." In the 17th century a further compilation of Ireland's Ancient History was made by the "Four Masters," learned antiquarians selected for that purpose, and their work was translated into English during the reigns of Kings George the Fourth and William the Fourth. The Stone of Destiny - From this wonderful work I have selected a mere bit to form a paper which I trust may be not only interesting but may prove of value to those of us who can boast of Celtic blood in our veins. I have taken that part which tells of the Stone of Destiny and which gives some account of the royal city of Tara and Ireland of old. When Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, rejected the wise counsel of his father's old associates and acted upon the foolish advice of his young companions, the kingdom became rent in twain, but two tribes, Judah and Benjamin, remaining faithful to him as the Kingdom of Judah. The remaining ten tribes of Israel separated from the Temple at Jerusalem and its religious influences, lapsed into idolatry and wickedness to such an extent that God not only abandoned them but He also determined to punish them. This brought about the Assyrian Captivity, B.C., 725, from which they never returned, and so lost their identity that, today, they are spoken of as "The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel." Scattered, indeed they were, but were they all lost? In between the other tribes of Israel, and those of Dan and Simeon, were Judah and Benjamin, with whom the King of Assyria was at peace, and whose territory he was not likely to invade. Sailors and shipowners as were the Danites, the Irish record states that, instead of falling into captivity, they took to their vessels, sailed away and, in time, reached Ireland, where, for one hundred and ninety-seven years, as the Tuatha-de-Danans, they reigned as its kings, until conquered by the Milesians. They are recorded as being highly civilized, skilled in the arts and sciences; hence they were considered as "magicians." In after ages they were believed to have continued to live in hills, or raths, as the "good people," or fairies, of Ireland. Their magic, however, consisted in the exercise of the mechanical arts, of which those who had previously invaded the country were then ignorant. Ogma, the father of one of these kings, was the inventor of the "Ogham" (owan) alphabet, an occult manner of writing used by the ancient Irish. Its letters are all denominated by the names of trees and shrubs indigenous to Ireland. (Continued in Jeremiah's file.) Bible: Genesis 5:32; 10:1-2, 5; Moses 8:12, 27; 1 Chronicles 1:4. This man was generally regarded as the father of the Aryan or Indo-European peoples referred to scripturally as gentiles. Genesis 10:2; 1 Chronicles 1:5. Japheth's son Madi is usually translated as Medes when referring to his descendants, and Japheth's son Javan has the same name as the Hebrew word for Ionians or, generally speaking, the Greeks.
