They are composed mainly in Biblical Hebrew , with some passages in Biblical Aramaic ( in the books of Daniel , Ezra and a few others ). The Vulgate is a late fourth - century Latin translation of the ___MASK26___ that became , during the 16th century , the Catholic Church ' s officially promulgated Latin version of the ___MASK26___ . The Tanakh ( or ; also " Tenakh ", " Tenak ", " Tanach ") or Mikra or Hebrew ___MASK26___ is the canonical collection of Jewish texts , which is also a textual source for the Christian Old Testament .

Shem (" Sm "; Ge ' ez :  , " Sm "; " renown ; prosperity ; name "; Arabic : " Sm ") was one of the sons of Noah in the Hebrew ___MASK26___ as well as in Islamic literature . Genesis 10 : 21 refers to relative ages of Shem and his brother Japheth , but with sufficient ambiguity to have yielded different English translations . The verse is translated in the KJV as " Unto Shem also , the father of all the children of Eber , the brother of Japheth the elder , even to him were children born .". However , the New American Standard ___MASK26___ gives , " Also to Shem , the father of all the children of Eber , and the older brother of Japheth , children were born ."

Aram (" rm ") is a son of Shem , according to the Table of Nations in ___MASK60___ 10 of the Hebrew ___MASK26___ , and the father of Uz , Hul , Gether and Mash or Meshech .

According to the Table of Nations in the Book of ___MASK60___ in the Hebrew ___MASK26___ , Gether (" eer "; " Aather " in Arabic ) was the third son of Aram , son of Shem . He appears only twice in the Hebrew ___MASK26___ , and both times is only mentioned in passing in genealogical lists . In the Table of Nations ( ___MASK60___ 10 : 23 ), he is identified as a son of Aram , while in 1 Chronicles 1 : 17 , he is listed among the sons of Shem .
