Jerah

Patriarchs (Abraham–Joseph) Early Patriarch · H3392
Old Testament

Jerah was one of the sons of Joktan, a descendant of Shem, as recorded in the Table of Nations in Genesis and 1 Chronicles.

Jerah was a son of Joktan and a descendant of Shem through Eber, listed in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10:26 and 1 Chronicles 1:20. The sons of Joktan are associated with the Arabian peninsula, and Jerah's name may be connected to the Hebrew word for 'moon,' possibly linking him to a people with a lunar cult or to a region where the moon was venerated. His exact geographical identification remains uncertain, though various ancient and modern scholars have attempted to locate him in southern Arabia.
