Genesis 10:5

From these, the peoples of the islands (the peoples of the coastal regions – Hebr. i ha-goj) were divided (they spread out) in their lands (areas – Hebr. erets), each according to their language and according to their families (clans – Hebr. mishpachah), among their peoples (Hebr. goj).
[These may refer to the sons of Javan (verse 4), but it is more likely that all the sons of Japheth are meant (verses 2-4). The islands of the lands could refer to the continents, but there is also a figurative interpretation that each nation is its own "island" that integrates with other nations. Hebr. goj refers to a people living in a certain place; it can include different ethnic groups, but often it is one ethnic group. The Greek form of Japheth is Iapetos, and according to Greek tradition, he is the ancestor of the Greeks. The Hebrew name Javan means "young" but also the country of Greece, see Dan. 8:21; 10:20. Japheth is thus probably the ancestor of the "seafaring peoples" who spread out around the Mediterranean.]
