Post-Flood, Noah divided the continents: Asia to Shem, Africa to Ham, and Europe to Japheth.
After 150 days, the ships landed in five regions, repopulating the earth: Guatama (Americas), Jaffeth (China), Shem (India), Ham (Africa/Egypt), and Yista (Japan).
It joins Shem, Ham, Guatama, and Arabin’ya.
Oahspe details Ham’s creation, its role as a home for early tribes, and its spiritual history, though it receives less focus than regions like Shem or Arabin’ya.
It forms alongside Shem, Jaffeth, Guatama, and Arabin’ya.
In the Oahspe: A New Bible, Shem is one of the five major regions or continents that emerge after the submersion of Pan (Whaga), the original landmass, around 24,000 BCE.
Shem is primarily associated with the Asian continent, particularly India and surrounding areas, and serves as a key setting for the development of Faithism, the monotheistic worship of Jehovih, the Creator.
Oahspe details Shem’s role as a new home for the I’hins and later I’huans, its spiritual history, and its influence through prophets like Zarathustra and Capilya.
Jehovih creates Shem as a new continent after Pan’s flood.
“Jehovih raised up Shem from the waters.
Shem encompasses regions like Vind’yu (India).
“Shem, called Vind’yu in part, bore the I’hins and I’huans.
First, Shem receives I’hins from Pan.
“Angels carried I’hins to Shem.
Next, Shem nurtures early civilizations.
“In Shem, I’huans raised cities.
In addition, Shem faces false gods’ influence.
“False gods led Shem astray.
“Zarathustra taught Shem’s Faithists.
He exalted Jehovih above false gods.” Book of God’s Word, Chapter I “Capilya led Shem’s people back.
Shem shapes Faithism’s global spread.
“From Shem came Jehovih’s light.
Moreover, Shem’s struggles with false gods highlight redemption.
“Jehovih saved Shem’s Faithists.
In conclusion, Shem’s legacy endures in Kosmon (143 A.K.
“In Kosmon, Shem’s Faithists shine.
Oahspe portrays Shem as a post-flood continent, home to I’hins and I’huans, where Faithism flourishes despite false gods.
Shem’s legacy shapes the Kosmon Era (143 A.K.
Angels transport them to new lands like Shem and Jaffeth.
Survivors of Cataclysms: I’hins are divinely protected during major floods, such as Aph’s submersion of Pan (24,000 BCE) and Noe’s flood (4,000 BCE), relocating to regions like Shem, Ham, Jaffeth, and Arabin’ya (Book of Aph, Chapter III; Book of the Arc of Bon, Chapter IV).
Survivors were relocated to new lands, including regions corresponding to Shem, Ham, and Jaffeth (broadly Asia, Africa, and East Asia/China in Oahspe's symbolic geography).
He also rescues the I’hins from the flood, guiding them to new lands (Shem, Ham, Jaffeth) to preserve their Faithist traditions.
Rescue of the I’hins: Aph ensures the survival of the I’hin race, guiding them to safety in new regions like Shem (Asia), Ham (Africa), and Jaffeth (China/East Asia) (Book of Aph, Chapter III).
Aph’s cycle, occurring in regions like Jaffeth and Shem, aligns with areas where flood myths (like Deucalion’s) were prevalent, and Oahspe’s use of names like “Aph” may evoke Poseidon’s mythological resonance.
He sends ashars to guard newborns and guide humanity, fostering the establishment of Faithist communities in regions like Shem, Ham, and Jaffeth.
In the "Book of Thor," he is credited with inspiring the establishment of Faithist communities in regions like Shem, Ham, and Jaffeth, fostering non-resistance, charity, and communal living.
Saves the I’hins and establishes new settlements, guiding survivors to regions like Shem, Ham, and Jaffeth.
Constructs an “arc” (symbolic or physical vessel) to save the I’hins, relocating them to Shem, Ham, and Jaffeth (Asia, Africa, Europe).
Jehovih’s breath guided the ships into four fleets—Guatama, Shem, Jaffet’h, Ham—and a fifth, Yista.
Shem: South (India).
Wherever they went—Guatama, Jaffet’h, Shem, Ham, Yista—I told them to build mounds and walled cities with ladders, like the ancients, as proof in the kosmon era of their presence before the I’huans (copper-colored race).
The division of humanity into lineages through Noah’s sons (Shem, Ham, Japheth) sets a precedent for the focus on distinct nations.
Genealogy of Noah (Genesis 10): The nations are traced from Noah’s sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—without Yahweh playing a direct role.
The genealogy narrows from Noah’s son Shem to Terah, Abraham’s father.
To calculate the years between Noah and Abraham, we can use the genealogies provided in Genesis 11, which detail the descendants from Noah's son Shem to Abraham.
Septuagint & Samaritan Pentateuch Total: 940 years from Shem to Terah’s son’s birth; total combined lifespan = 3949 years.
Hebrew Bible Total: 390 years from Shem to Terah’s son’s birth; total combined lifespan = 1998 years.
One explanation for the trouble at Babel was that the humans there attempted to construct their own launch tower, apparently hoping to produce their own shem, or flying vehicle, with a view toward arguingagainst the breakup of humanity with the off-world ruler, An.
“Come, let us build ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens,” they were quoted in Genesis 11:4 (New International Version) as saying, “so that we may make a shem for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
An Arabic text found at Baalbek stated that Nimrod and his followers also tried to construct a shem there.
“Shem, inadvertendy misunderstood, was rendered by most translators as a sign for the word ‘name.
“Sitchin designates the origin of shem as Mesopotamian, originating from the word mu or the Semitic derivative shu-mu, or sham … ‘that by which one is remembered/ evolving into ‘name' The original meaning of the words, however, was originally connected with the concept of something that flies.”
“The realization that mu or shem in many Mesopotamian texts should be read not as ‘name' but as ‘sky vehicle’ opens the way to the understanding of the true meaning of many ancient tales, including the biblical story of the Tower of Babel,” wrote Sitchin. Even Sitchin’s critics agree that shem or shamaim (heaven) stem horn the word shamah translated as “that which is highward.”
In Genesis 11:4, the builders of Babel state:“Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a shem for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
"Make a shem for ourselves": This could reflect a desire for security, legacy, and centralization, ensuring unity and strength to avoid the perceived chaos of dispersion.
Noah: If the flood occurred in 9,564 BCE, Noah's sons (Shem, Ham, and Japheth) were likely born by around 9,500 BCE.
First post-Flood generation (Shem, Ham, Japheth): ~9,500 BCE.

“Come, let us build ourselves a city with atower that reaches to the heavens,” they were quoted in Genesis 11:4 (New International Version) assaying, “so that we may make a shem for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

Even Sitchin’s critics agree that shem or shamaim(heaven) stem horn the word shamah translated as “that which is highward.”
Soon the three branches of humankind—all descendants of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth—weretransported to the preordained locations, where different languages indeed developed over time.
Both the Sumerian texts and the Bible agree that Shem and his descendants remained in the areaencompassing Mesopotamia, Ham and his kin were taken to Africa—here including parts of Arabia—while Japheth’s people were transported to the Indus Valley, possibly becoming the mysterious Aryanswho suddenly appeared there in ancient times.
Noah: Had Shem, Ham, and Japheth at 500 years; lived 950 years.
Noah, according to Genesis, had three sons--Shem, Ham, and Japheth--who represented three different races of men of different colors.
Here we have, I think, a reference to the three races: 1, the red or sunburnt men, like the Egyptians, the Phœnicians, the Basques, and the Berber and Cushite stocks; 2, the sons of Shem, possibly the yellow or Turanian race; and 3, the whiter men, the Aryans, the Greeks, Kelts, Goths, Slavs, etc.
"Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and unto them were sons born after the flood."
The record of Genesis claims that the Phœnicians were descended from Ham, while the Hebrews were descended from Shem; yet we find the Hebrews and Phœnicians united by the ties of a common language, common traditions, and common race characteristics.
Moreover, the Arabians, who are popularly classed as Semites, or sons of Shem, admit in their traditions that they are descended from "Ad, the son of Ham;" and the tenth chapter of Genesis classes them among the descendants of Ham, calling them Seba, Havilah, Raamah, etc.
It classes different races as both Semites and Hamites; as, for instance, Sheba and Havilah; while the race of Mash, or Meshech, is classed among the sons of Shem and the sons of Japheth.
x.) gives us the descendants of Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Six generations previous to the time of Capilya God came down from his holy hill in heaven, to visit the land of Shem, now called Vind'yu.
And they were so written by these seers; and copies of them were made and put on file in the libraries of the records of the kings and queens of the earth, in Arabin'ya, Jaffeth and Shem.
Out of the hosts of Parsi'e, who were of the people of Shem, who were since the days of the flood, came Abram, a man chosen by God, in the arcs of Spe-ta and Bon, for the deliverance of the Faithists of Arabin'ya.
These, then, are the generations of the line whence came Abram, that is to say: Of Shem and the seventy tribes, first going forth beyond the mountains of Owatchab-habal, Tur who settled in Parsi'e, and his descendants Raf-bak, and his descendants Goe, and his descendants Wawa, and his descendants Sadr.
And here the line ran by female heirs, beginning in Rac-ca's daughter, Hess, from whom was descended Gil-gil, from whom was descended Thussa, from whom was descended She, from whom was descended seven generations in su-is; and it was lost in We-ta-koo, but regained again through I'hin seed, and appeared in Reboth, and again su-is extended through these generations: Arfaxad, Sala, Eber, Peleg, Roo, Sa-rug, Na-hor and Terah; but in Terah the line was lost, but regained by I'hin seed, from whom sprang Geth, from whom sprang Choe, from whom sprang Gus, from whom sprang Ra-bak, from whom sprang Ya-shem, and by I'hin seed sprang Ti-lot, and by I'hin seed Shi-ar, and by I'hin seed Shir-ra, from whom descended Na-hor the second, from whom sprang Abram.
Romsat had prophesied, moreover: With the coming of Brahma is the end of the I'hin race in Shem (Vind'yu).
And Oas was embellished and adorned above all other places that had been on the earth; the fame of which spread abroad over Jaffeth and Shem and Ham, between which it lie centrally.
So Jaffeth and Shem and Ham run red with human blood, whereat, I raised my voice to high heaven, that Jehovih would send deliverance for the souls of men.
These extend over the earth mountains of Shem, and have an altitude above the earth of one hundred miles.
God apportioned certain of the earth for the tribes of Shem of the arc of Noe'chi, a heavenly place, seat of mountains, and Lords, All Wise, and from His Wisdom directed Hirto into His pastures.
Whereupon the Great Spirit spoke in the firmament of heaven, saying: To Hirto, son of Neph, I bequeathed the tribes of Shem forever.
So Hirto became Lord of Shem, and he banished Anra'mainyus down under the earth, where he busy himself building fires for the furnaces of hell, whereof the smoke and flames come up through the earth and are called Agni (volcanoes), that his existence might be known to men.
Three spirit lights created I: Ruch, which issue out of My soul; Shem, which come from My Lords in heaven to the souls of men; and Vas, which come from the spirits of the intermediate world.
So the Lord took the hollow of his hand and lifted up his people, and gave them doves' wings, and they flew afar and came to the land where dwell''' the Lord, so it was called Shem as a proof to all the world.
Shem had many tribes, who settled on the borders of the sea at Haventi and Gats; and the Lord (Hirto) dwelt with them, speaking through the chief prophet, Tah (Tae), who made a record on stone, and wood, and cloth, of the Lord's word, and these were preserved in the Valens (house) of God (Hirto).
Behold, the multiple (Yi-ha) language of the tribes of Shem!
For I locked up sufficient of the Panic language in Jaffeth as a testimony to be discovered in after years; showing that, unlike Ham and Shem, a mighty nation could retain one language for thousands of years.
The tribes of Ham were previously ordained with characteristics to make them love to emigrate westward; and the tribes of Jaffeth and Shem with characteristics to make them love to stay within their own countries.
Now, in the midst of three great countries, Jaffeth, Shem and Ham, was the chief place of the I'huans, where they founded a new nation; and the Lord called them Parsi'e,7 signifying, warrior Faithists, because he created them as a shield, to guard his chosen, the I'hins.
Those that came to Shem survived twelve thousand years, and then became extinct by amalgamation.11
Those of Shem attained to six hundred large cities, and two thousand small cities, being more than two million souls.
And they retained their name, Shem, to the last; but the I'huans called them Sri-vede-iyi, signifying, people of the true light, woman-like.
The sound, "An," sharp, plays a conspicuous part.11 Nevertheless in hundreds of years after, there came into Shem I'hins from Jaffeth who survived thousands of years.
He established mighty kingdoms and sub-kingdoms, over the lands of Jaffeth, and Shem, and Parsi'e, and Arabin'ya.
At this stage, Osire departed with his ship and steered southward over the land of Shem, coming to a place in the lower heaven called Vibrahj, signifying resplendent, where ruled the false God, Daveas,1 who had eight hundred millions of slaves, a thousand Lords, and ten thousand Governors.
