Most Jews are Ashkenazi and the bible says The Table of Nations
1 This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, who themselves had sons after the flood. The Japhethites
2 The sons [a] of Japheth:
Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras.
3 The sons of Gomer:
Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.
therefore, if Jews are descendents of Ashkenaz, who was a son of Gomer, who was a son of Japheth the older brother of Shem then why do they claim to be descended from Shem?
