The word yaphat (𐤉𐤐𐤕) or “Japheth” is associated with three associated meanings. The first meaning is that of a combination of 𐤉 (Ya) and 𐤐𐤕𐤄 (phatah), which means enlarge or expansion and could mean that his name means “He enlarges” or “Yah enlarges”. The second meaning is connected to 𐤉𐤐𐤄 (yaphah) meaning to be fair or beautiful. The last association of the word is with the eldest or first 𐤁𐤍 (ban) of 𐤍𐤅𐤇 (Nauakh).

𐤉𐤐𐤕 (Yaphat) is the eldest or first 𐤁𐤍 (ban) of 𐤍𐤅𐤇 (Nauakh) who was given the following lands by his father when he divided the earth: a portion of Russia beginning at the border of Georgia, through Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The border stretches to the upper portion of North America and Canada.

He is the father of 𐤂𐤌𐤓 (Gamar), 𐤌𐤂𐤅𐤂 (Magauag), 𐤌𐤃 (Mad) / 𐤌𐤃𐤉 (Maday), 𐤉𐤅𐤍 (Yauan), 𐤕𐤅𐤁𐤋 (Tauabal), 𐤌𐤔𐤊 (Mashak), and 𐤕𐤉𐤓𐤎 (Tayaras). He is the progenitor of the indigenous Greeks, Celts, Medes, and other predecessors to the European people. They are classified as European and Euro-Asiatic; with Europeans having intermixed with the 𐤀𐤃𐤅𐤌𐤉𐤌 (Adauamayam).

The Paleo-Hebrew language or the original language of the Ābarayam is one spoken with an emphasis on the rauakh (breath, wind, spirit). With the language of the Ābarayam, each letter has a meaning and a number associated with it that adds meaning to each word they’re used with. Below you will be able to learn more about the letter in Ancient Hebrew, Yiddish Hebrew, Greek, and much more.

In the Scriptures

He first appears in the Ābaray scriptures as one of the three 𐤁𐤍𐤉𐤌 (banayam) of 𐤍𐤅𐤇 (Nauakh), saved from the Flood through the Ark. In the Book of 𐤁𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤕 (BaRaashayat), they are always in the order “Shem, Ham, and Japheth” when all three are listed. However, 𐤁𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤕 (BaRaashayat) 9:24 calls 𐤇𐤌 (Kham) the youngest, and 𐤁𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤕 (BaRaashayat) 10:21 refers ambiguously to 𐤔𐤌 (Sham) as “brother of Japheth the elder,” which could mean that either is the eldest. Most modern writers accept Shem-Ham-Japheth as reflecting birth order, but this is not always the case in the scriptures.

Following the Flood, he is featured in the story of 𐤍𐤅𐤇 (Nauakh)’s drunkenness. 𐤇𐤌 (Kham) sees their father drunk and naked in his tent and tells his brothers, who then cover their father with a cloak while avoiding the sight; when 𐤍𐤅𐤇 (Nauakh) awakes he curses 𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍 (Kanaān), the son of 𐤇𐤌 (Kham), and blesses 𐤔𐤌 (Sham) and 𐤉𐤐𐤕 (Yaphat): “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem and may Canaan be his slave; and may God enlarge Japheth and may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave!”

The Wife of 𐤉𐤐𐤕 (Yaphat)

The Book of 𐤉𐤅𐤁𐤋 (Yauabal) says his original 𐤀𐤔𐤄 (ashah)’s name was ‘Adataneses but claims have been made that his 𐤀𐤔𐤄 (ashah)’s name is Rayneh. She gave birth to his children named 𐤂𐤌𐤓 (Gamar), 𐤌𐤂𐤅𐤂 (Magauag), 𐤌𐤃 (Mad) / 𐤌𐤃𐤉 (Maday), 𐤉𐤅𐤍 (Yauan), 𐤕𐤅𐤁𐤋 (Tauabal), 𐤌𐤔𐤊 (Mashak), and 𐤕𐤉𐤓𐤎 (Tayaras).

The attribution of his 𐤀𐤔𐤄 (ashah)’s name ‘Adataneses is based on the text stating “And Ham knew that his father had cursed his younger son, and he was displeased that he had cursed his son. and he parted from his father, […] And he built for himself a city and called its name after the name of his wife Ne’elatama’uk. And Japheth saw it, and became envious of his brother, and he too built for himself a city, and he called its name after the name of his wife ‘Adataneses.” Since the Book of 𐤉𐤅𐤁𐤋 (Yauabal) says that he named the territory after her then we have to assume her legitimate name is ‘Adataneses; which means “Gift”.

Both the name ‘Adataneses, and the name Rayneh (Rayanah) hold no clear meaning in Ābarayat. Since everyone spoke the same language prior to the Tower of Babel the name of his 𐤀𐤔𐤄 (ashah) should have some type of meaning in the language. However, Rina is a derivative of the name 𐤓𐤉𐤍𐤄 (Rayanah). Rina has its roots in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Israeli, and Rina means “beloved; peace; pure; queen; melody; joyful”. Rina is a variant form of Carina (Latin). Rina is also a variant of Irene (Greek). Mythology: Greek goddess of peace. Rina is also used as a form of Katherine (Greek), a form of Regina (Latin), a variation of Rena (Hebrew), and a derivative of Rinah (Israeli).

It is said that Rayneh worked closely with her mother-in-law, sketching the ark’s animals while studying and recording their habits. In her limited free time, she enjoyed making crafts and adding some flair to her family’s surroundings, such as painting intricate designs on pottery.

The Great Expansion

His descendants kept true to the promise of their lands being enlarged. However, it started with the Romans who are a mixture of his descendants the 𐤊𐤕𐤉𐤌 (Katayam), and a descendant group of 𐤔𐤌 (Sham) known as the 𐤀𐤃𐤅𐤌𐤉𐤌 (Adauamayam). However, the expansion grew exponentially when the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade began and they colonized both 𐤇𐤌 (Jham)’s and 𐤔𐤌 (Sham)’s territories and lands, which was against the allotments of 𐤍𐤅𐤇 (Nauakh). The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade occurred through:

The Descendants

𐤉𐤐𐤕𐤉 (Yaphatay) or Japhethites are the descendants of 𐤉𐤐𐤕 (Yaphat) who are somewhat of a mixed multitude but are mostly known for the people who are indigenous to the colder territories of the planet including Russia through European sections such as Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Britain, and others. They continue to the upper portions of the United States in North America and Canada.

They are a mixture of people intermarrying with 𐤇𐤌𐤉𐤌 (Khamayam), 𐤔𐤌𐤉𐤌 (Shamayam), and 𐤍𐤐𐤉𐤋𐤉𐤌 (Naphayalayam). Originally, the indigenous people were melanin-filled individuals, however, after years of mixing with 𐤀𐤃𐤅𐤌𐤉𐤌 (Adauamayam) from 𐤔𐤌𐤉𐤌 (Shamayam) and 𐤍𐤐𐤉𐤋𐤉𐤌 (Naphayalayam) they have gained a genetic anomaly that doesn’t allow them to produce melanin at adequate concentrations.
