Significance: Ezekiel 38:6 identifies "Beth-togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north" as part of Gog's alliance, linking to Genesis 10:3 where Togarmah is listed as a son of Gomer, grandson of Japheth. The qualifier "from the uttermost parts of the north" (מִיַּרְכְּתֵי צָפוֹן, miyyarketey tsafon) intensifies the Table of Nations identification by emphasizing Togarmah's extreme geographical remoteness. Ezekiel transforms the genealogical data of Genesis 10 into eschatological geography, where distance from Israel correlates with hostility: the most remote northern peoples become the final adversaries of God's restored community.

Significance: Genesis 10:3 lists Togarmah as a son of Gomer, placing him in the Japhethite branch of the Table of Nations. Ezekiel 38:6 specifically names "Beth-togarmah (בֵּית תּוֹגַרְמָה) from the far north with all its troops" as part of the Gog alliance. The prefix בֵּית ("house of") transforms the personal name from Genesis 10 into a territorial designation, indicating that Ezekiel is drawing on the Table of Nations to identify real peoples and territories. The phrase "from the far north" (מִיַּרְכְּתֵי צָפוֹן) locates Togarmah at the geographic extremity, consistent with Japhethite settlement patterns in Anatolia or beyond. Ezekiel systematically mines Genesis 10 for the names of his eschatological enemy coalition.
