21. The sons of Shem.














Hadoram
The name "Hadoram" is of Hebrew origin, and it is believed to mean "noble honor" or "exalted." In the genealogical context of Genesis 10, Hadoram is listed as a descendant of Shem, through Joktan. This lineage is significant as it traces the spread of nations and peoples after the flood. The name itself suggests a person of high standing or respect, which may reflect the cultural values of the time, where names often carried significant meaning and were indicative of one's role or status within a community. Historically, Hadoram is associated with the Arabian tribes, and his descendants are thought to have settled in the southern regions of the Arabian Peninsula. This highlights the expansive reach of Shem's lineage and the fulfillment of God's promise to Noah that his descendants would populate the earth.

Uzal
"Uzal" is another descendant of Joktan, and his name is thought to mean "to depart" or "to go away." Uzal is traditionally identified with the ancient city of Sana'a, the capital of present-day Yemen. This connection is supported by historical and archaeological evidence that suggests a thriving civilization in that region during the time of Joktan's descendants. The mention of Uzal in this genealogical record underscores the spread of Semitic peoples into the Arabian Peninsula, contributing to the rich tapestry of cultures and languages that emerged in the ancient Near East. The name Uzal, with its connotations of movement or departure, may symbolize the dynamic nature of human migration and the fulfillment of God's command to "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth" (Genesis 9:1).

Diklah
The name "Diklah" is believed to mean "palm grove" or "date palm," which is fitting given the geographical context of the Arabian Peninsula, where date palms are abundant and have been a staple of the region's agriculture and economy for millennia. Diklah, as a descendant of Joktan, represents another branch of the Semitic peoples who settled in the Arabian region. The imagery of a palm grove evokes a sense of life, sustenance, and prosperity, reflecting the blessings of God upon the descendants of Shem. In a broader theological context, the mention of Diklah and his brothers in Genesis 10 serves as a reminder of God's providence and the interconnectedness of all nations under His sovereign plan. The genealogies in Genesis are not merely historical records but are also theological affirmations of God's faithfulness to His creation and His ongoing work in human history.
