(Gen 4:26) In Enosh's day “a start was made of calling on the name of Jehovah.” This was evidently not a calling on Jehovah in faith and pure worship… Hebrew scholars contend that the text should read “began profanely,” or “then profanation began.” Men may have applied Jehovah’s name to themselves or to other men through whom they pretended to approach God in worship; or else they applied his name to idol objects.

(Gen 10:22) Son of Shem. Age, and date of birth not mentioned in the Bible. [Because the time after the Deluge included the varying of ages, an average was taken from the first 3 generations after Shem to determine the standard of 444 years till death. With the exception of Terah, the age upon having child varies little, therefore the average to determine the date of the childs birth is based on Arpachshad to Terah, 36 years.]

At some point in the past, they established themselves in the Iranian plateau region, settling primarily between the Elburz Mountains (S of the Caspian Sea) and the Zagros Mountains to the E of Assyria. The modern name Iran derives from the word “Aryan,” a term used to refer to those of Japhetic descent."

"From the time of the Jewish historian Josephus, it has been suggested that “the land of Magog” related to the Scythian tribes found in NE Europe and Central Asia. (Jewish Antiquities, I, 123 [vi, 1]) ... Encyclopaedia Britannica (Vol. 20, p. 235) states that “throughout classical literature Scythia generally meant all regions to the north and northeast of the Black sea, and a Scythian (Skuthes) any barbarian coming from those parts.” ... “The name ‘Scythians’ was among the ancients an elastic appellation, and so was the Hebrew ‘Magog.’”—Edited by S.

"The prophet Ezekiel regularly mentions Meshech along with Tubal, indicating that they were located to the N of Palestine... About a thousand years after the Flood, Assyrian inscriptions begin to mention a people called the Mushku occupying an area in Asia Minor to the W of Assyria. Assyrian Emperors Tiglath-pileser I, Tukulti-Ninurta II, Ashurnasirpal II, and Sargon all mention conflicts with them. The fact that the Mushku are frequently mentioned along with the Tabalu (evidently the Biblical Tubal) gives reason for believing that the name Mushku derives from Meshech. Herodotus (III, 94) later refers to the Moschi and the Tibareni in the same manner."

"Tubal, along with Javan and Meshech, engaged in trading with Tyre, dealing in slaves and copper articles. (Eze 27:13)... Most scholars consider the name to refer to the same people as the Tabalu of Assyrian inscriptions, where Tabalu and Mushku (evidently Meshech) are mentioned together. (Ancient Near Eastern Texts, edited by J. Pritchard, 1974, p. 284) Some centuries later, Herodotus (III, 94) also listed them together as the Tibareni and the Moschi. On this basis the land of Tubal is considered to have been situated (at least in Assyrian times) to the NE of Cilicia in eastern Asia Minor. The existence of copper mines in this region coincides with the Bible account."
