Genesis 9:27

9:27

enlarge <06601> [enlarge. or, persuade. Japheth.]

Japheth denotes enlargement, and how wonderfully have his boundaries been enlarged; for not only Europe, but Asia Minor, part of Armenia, Iberia, the whole of the vast regions of Asia north of Taurus, and probably America, fell to the share of his posterity.

live <07931> [he shall dwell.]

These words may mean either that God or that Japheth shall dwell in the tents of Shem. In either sense the prophecy has been literally fulfilled.

live <07931> [dwell.]
