# Bible: Generations of Noah

🏷 Bible text Genesis Hebrew text interlinear · text — by Gerry · Aug 2024 · 4853 words

The Generations of Noah are long lists of seemingly arbitrary names, said to be nations & peoples. Under the hood, it’s again a pun-encrypted parable on how ruling by violence creates rebellion, so ruling by deception is much more useful.

## Introduction

The Generations of Noah are also called Table of Nations, because it’s a very long list of peoples & nations which are said to be descendants of each other. Following puns with Noah’s 3 sons, the nations are traditionally grouped into the 3 regions Africa (Ham ≈ “hot”), Asia (Japheth ≈ “spacious”), and Near East (perhaps Shem ≈ “desert”). Some of the nations are known, like Egypt & Greece, but the vast majority are completely unknown names. There have been many attempts to forcefully fit this table to actual historical nations somehow, but none are very convincing.

So what does this strange list of seemingly arbitrary names really mean? As usual, it’s a pun-encryption. The names are all puns with the 3 main ways of ruling: violence, openness, and deception. Unsurprisingly, deception wins. Other names are about the effects of using the wrong strategy, such as Nimrod who puns with “rebellion”, caused by too much violence.

Confusingly, some of the main names are apparently used for several different puns, e.g. Ham for puns with “wrath” and also “sexuality”.

Since some of the puns are quite weak, I also assume that the authors did not simply make up all these names, but took most of them from existing myths & legends, and a few perhaps even from real peoples & places, only not so well-known ones.
