-Caveat Lector-
For Shem was the Priest, and his descendants did not share in the "confounding
of language," (Genesis 11:7) which fell upon the Hamites in their rebellion against
God at Babel. Neither did Japhet participate in that confusion, hence "their" words
were one until, after time and separation, their different types of language developed
by purely natural processes.
Shem being the one chosen to transmit the Promise would naturally inherit the
sacred, mystical, numerical Hebrew tongue.
When Abraham (of the house of Shem) commenced his long journey to his new home
in the land of promise, from what country did he emigrate?
"They went forth ... from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan."
(Genesis 11:31)
In the Hebrew text of Genesis, the word translated "Ur" is a word of three
letters "Aur." "Chaldees" also is merely a Greek and Latin rendering of the Hebrew
"Chas-dim" or "Kash-dim;" both these words have very significant meanings. "Aur" is
"Light." "Kash-dim;" means the keeper of secrets" or "interpreters of mysteries." The
"Chaldees" of the Book of Daniel were true "Kash-dim" ... they were not the common
population of Babylon, but an aristocracy of science.
Thus Daniel 1:4 "the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans" is recorded; in
Daniel 2:2 "the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans."
A Chaldee or "Kash-d" was an "interpreter" whether in the West or the East.
From time immemorial has the north of India been the home of mysterious
science, such as the Kashdim of Babylon pursued. The province of Kashmir is about
1,900 miles due east of Mesopotamia (bordering on Chinese Turkestan and Thibet, both
provinces of the Chinese Empire). The word "Kash" abounds and always has abounded in
the local names of that region, as any good map will show.
Now note that the Bible is Hebrew Scripture, a history of the Hebrew or
Shemitic people only. There are no Japhetic or Hamitic Scriptures, hence there is no
specific record of the descendants of these two sons of Noah after the detailed
genealogies in Genesis 9, 10 and the first 9 verses of Genesis 11.
But in this account careful reading and a comparison of chronology with
ancient history shows that for a full century, at least, Noah and the two sons whom he
had blessed continued to occupy their settlement on the Indus. It was not until the
"days of Peleg," who was born 101 years after the flood, that a great religious feud
separated the families of Shem and Japhet. Then southward into Kashmir where,
subsequently, Abraham was born, Shem journeyed, and in due time the nations sprung
from him peopled, in the main, the southern half of Asia, below the Caucasus, Hindu
Kush, and the Himalayas. The name Brahmin is from Abraham.
Northward, back along the tributary valley by which he had descended from the
Ark, turning his back upon the Inuds, Japhet retraced his steps till he had placed
another mountain range between his brother and himself. He was then in the very hart
of Asia on the "Roof of the World," and a glance at the genealogies of his sons shows
the original names of thee Tartar and Mongol races, names now still in geographical
evidence of their ancestry.
"Some people, once they adopt an idea, bury it in the ground
and go on the rest of their lives defending it, without ever
re-examining it to see whether time and the elements have
caused it to decay into a worthless handful of dust. In that
way you can be always consisten; and often wrong." (Raymond
Clapper)
