Book of Jasher

A rabbinic document that surfaced in the 17th century, claiming to be the lost Book of Jasher provides some names not found in any other source. Some have reconstructed more complete genealogies based on this information as follows:

The sons of Shem were:

• Elam "eternity" (sons were Shushan, Machul and Harmon)[3] - (Elamites and Khuzestanis)
• Asshur "a step" or "strong" (sons were Mirus and Mokil)
• Arphaxad (sons were Shelach, Anar and Ashcol) - Chaldeans, Hebrews (Israelites, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Ishmaelites, and Qahtanites)
• Ziezi - son of Shem and a grandson of Noah. His name is mentioned in the excerpt Ziezi ex quo vulgares meaning "Ziezi, of whom the Bulgars" but being regarded by some as the first European reference to the Bulgars as a people. (Bulgars and Thracians—though modern scholarship classifies neither as Semitic; the former being Turkic and the latter Indo-European)
• Lud "strife" (sons were Pethor and Bizayon) - (Ludim, Lubim, Ludians, Ludu, Lydians, and other related groups in Asia Minor—generally classified today as Indo-European).
• Aram "exalted" (sons were Uz, Chul, Gather and Mash) - (Aramaeans).

Islamic literature describes Shem as one of the believing sons of Noah. Some sources even identify Shem as a prophet in his own right and that he was the next prophet after his father.[1] In one Muslim legend, Shem was one of the people that God made Jesus resurrect as a sign to the Children of Israel.

The 1st-century historian Flavius Josephus, among many others, recounted the tradition that these five sons were the progenitors of the nations of Elam, Assyria, Chaldea, Lydia, and Levantine, respectively.

According to some Jewish traditions (e.g., B. Talmud Nedarim 32b; Genesis Rabbah 46:7; Genesis Rabbah 56:10; Leviticus Rabbah 25:6; Numbers Rabbah 4:8.), Shem is believed to have been Melchizedek, King of Salem whom Abraham is recorded to have met after the battle of the four kings.

Dos años después del diluvio, cuando Sem tenía cien años, nació su hijo Arfaxad. Después de esto, Sem vivió quinientos años más, y tuvo otros hijos e hijas. (Gén. 11:10-11). Sem mismo pudo haber escrito esta genealogía puesto que su vida, superó los 427 años desde el diluvio hasta Abraham. Sem pudo haber nacido alrededor del año 2448 a. de J.C., su vida se extendió por seiscientos años, a lo largo de ocho generaciones de setenta años cada una! Lo que indicaría que Sem murió en el año 1848 aproximadamente.
