Significance: Ezekiel 38:6 mentions "Gomer with all its troops, and Beth-togarmah from the far north," with both names appearing in Genesis 10:3 as sons of Gomer son of Japheth. תּוֹגַרְמָה (Togarmah) is a grandson of Japheth in the Table of Nations, and Ezekiel identifies his house (בֵּית תּוֹגַרְמָה, Bet Togarmah) as part of Gog's coalition. By drawing allies from the Table of Nations genealogy, Ezekiel constructs a coalition representing the far reaches of the Japhethite world—peoples from "the uttermost parts of the north" (יַרְכְּתֵי צָפוֹן, yarketey tsafon)—to portray the eschatological threat as a universal gathering of distant nations against God's restored people.

Significance: Genesis 10:3 identifies Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah as sons of Gomer, grandson of Japheth. Ezekiel 38:2 incorporates Gomer's line into the Gog coalition by naming "Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal" alongside Gomer (38:6). The connection between Genesis 10:3's genealogical entry and Ezekiel's eschatological oracle lies in the shared identification of these Japhethite peoples as distant northern nations. Ezekiel draws from the Table of Nations' ethnic register to construct a comprehensive enemy coalition representing the hostile extremities of the known world arrayed against restored Israel.
