Gen. 10:3• 3And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. (Gen. 10:3)
• OF Japheth's sons two only have their descendants specified, Gomer the head of the Kelts, and Javan, from whom came the Hellenic-Italian races. (“Genesis 10:3” by W. Kelly)
• Jeremiah (Jer. 51:27) introduces Ashkenaz as one of three kingdoms set apart and called together with Ararat and Minni against Babylon, when the kings of the Medes also played their decisive part. There seems no sound reason to doubt that as Ararat and Minni were parts of Armenia, here as elsewhere falling under Togarmah, so Ashkenaz and Riphath occupied the peninsula of Asia Minor at that time (“Genesis 10:3” by W. Kelly)
• Togarmah settled in Armenia. (“Genesis 10:3” by W. Kelly)
• Thus Gomer embraces the Cimbri, or the more modern Kelts, who appear to have come first of the Aryan family to Europe from their early seat in the north of India. At one time they had a considerable hold on northern Italy, as well as Spain, Switzerland, the Tyrol, and south of the Danube; but Belgium, Britain, Gaul, were long their own; and even now the Welsh and the Breton dialects (and till recently the Cornish) attest the fact, as also the closely related Erse, Gaelic, and Manx. (“Genesis 10:2” by W. Kelly)
• There is no good reason for doubting that those we call Germans were of Gomer, no less than the Kelts. (“Genesis 10:2” by W. Kelly)
• Next, Magog (cf. Ezek. 38:2) quite as certainly is identified with the land we call Russia (a name derived from the river Volga, called in Greek 'Pa, as 'Pk is their Greek title). To these we must add Meshech and Tubal, races long known as Moschi and Tibareni: these are the Muskai and the Tuplai of the Assyrian inscriptions, who find their representatives in Moscow and Tobolsk. (“Genesis 10:2” by W. Kelly)
• Madai again is the unchanged name for the Medes and their country, with whom was the Persian race or Parsee, though Elam was Shemitic. (“Genesis 10:2” by W. Kelly)
