Ashkenaz

A man, in the time of the Patriarchs · Early Patriarch · named in 2 verses

Ashkenaz was a grandson of Japheth and son of Gomer, mentioned in the Table of Nations (<ref="Gen.10.3; 1Ch.1.6">Gen.10.3; 1Ch.1.6</ref>).

From Easton's Bible Dictionary

One of the three sons of Gomer (Gen. 10:3), and founder of one of the tribes of the Japhetic race. They are mentioned in connection with Minni and Ararat, and hence their original seat must have been in Armenia (Jer. 51:27), probably near the Black Sea, which, from their founder, was first called Axenus, and afterwards the Euxine.
