Tiras

Male · 2 cross references

Tiras is the youngest son of Japheth in the table of nations. The page uses a person-style entry for an ancestral name that stands behind a later people-group. First appears in Gen 10:2.1

AI summary: Tiras matters because his cross references place him within the Japhethite branch of Genesis' account of the nations, broadening the biblical horizon into distant peoples beyond Israel's immediate world. Even without a narrative episode, the entry contributes to Scripture's ordered memory of the post-flood human family. Taken together, the material presents Tiras as an ancestral marker in the genealogy of the nations.1
