It is interesting to see that some of the names of the sons of Ham are the names of countries. For example, Egypt, Cush, Put and Canaan. We know where Egypt is. Many biblical scholars believe that Cush is what is now Ethiopia. Put is believed to be Liberia. And of course, Canaan is the land of Israel today. In the sons of Japeth, we see Tarshish the city where the apostle Paul was from and Magog which some scholars believe to be Russia.
