THE GENEALOGY OF JESUS IS NOT THE AGE OF THE EARTH

Answer 2

You have a good question, and it shows you pay attention to geneologies in the Bible, which most people skip.

YOur question is based on believing Ashkenazi Jews claim descent from Ashkenaz, one of the sons of Japhet. This isn't true. Like all Jews, Ashkenazim claim descent from Jacob. Of Noah's three sons, they are descended from Shem.

So why are they called Ashkenazim. It was believed in Judaism, that the original peoples of Europe were descendants of Japeth, and the original tribes of Germany were descendants of Ashkenaz. Because of this belief, the word for Germany in Loshon HaKodesh (the Holy Dialect of Hebrew in Judaism) is Ashkenaz. So Ashkenaz is both the name of Japeth's one son, and the name of Germany in Hebrew.

The Jews who settled in Germany were given the name Ashkenazi by their fellow Jews - meaning German, in Hebrew. It is derived from the place name, not the name of Japhet's son.

(BTW, Ashkenaz is the word for Germany in Loshon HaKodesh, the Holy dialect of Hebrew; but in Ivrit Tzioni, the dialect used in Israel, its name is Germania, with the G hard like in Good. Interesting fact.)

Hope that helps.
