Overview
Tiras appears in the genealogical records as a son of Japheth, one of Noah's three sons who repopulated the earth after the flood. While Scripture provides his name and lineage, it offers limited information about his descendants or their specific territories compared to other sons of Japheth.
Key Scriptures
"The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras" (Genesis 10:2, ESV).
"The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras" (1 Chronicles 1:5, ESV).
Application
