clouded with time and the expansion over the earth, we present the translated as divided, differs from the words in verses 5 and 32. /

(The father of the white Aryan race.) scholars feel that there is a deeper meaning to the word of verse 25 in /
Magog Scythians, Georgians, tribes of southern Russia. that division by water is implied. They propose that for a long period /
Madai Medes, Persians following the deluge the surface of the earth was undergoing many great /

would be surfaced by the lowering water levels. This would allow animals /

Jebusites, Amorites, Girgasites, Hivites, Arkites, and fossil remains indicate that most areas once had a variety of different /
Sinites, Arvadites, Aemarites and Hamathites species living on them. It is also proposed that the climatic conditions /
were changing greatly following the deluge and this would also contribute /
Shem (father of Semitic nations) to the forming of the race and species patterns that now survive on the /
Eber Hebrews earth. Since the fossil and rock layers tell us that at one time nearly /
