Jump to: Hitchcock's • Smith's • Easton's • Concordance • Thesaurus • Hebrew • Library • Subtopics • Terms Topical Encyclopedia Sabtah is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogies of the Book of Genesis. He is one of the sons of Cush, who was a son of Ham, making Sabtah a grandson of Noah. The name Sabtah appears in the Table of Nations, which is a genealogical record of the descendants of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, following the Great Flood.Biblical References: · Genesis 10:7 : "The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan." · 1 Chronicles 1:9 : "The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan." These passages place Sabtah within the lineage of Cush, highlighting his role in the early post-diluvian world. The genealogies in Genesis and 1 Chronicles serve to trace the spread of nations and peoples across the earth after the flood, with Sabtah being part of this expansive narrative. Historical and Geographical Context: The descendants of Cush, including Sabtah, are traditionally associated with regions in Africa and parts of the Arabian Peninsula. While the exact location of Sabtah's descendants is not definitively known, some scholars suggest that they may have settled in areas around the Arabian Peninsula or possibly in parts of Africa. The genealogical records in Genesis and Chronicles are not only historical but also theological, illustrating the fulfillment of God's command to "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth" (Genesis 9:1). Theological Significance: The mention of Sabtah in the biblical genealogies underscores the unity and diversity of humanity as descendants of Noah. Each name in these genealogies represents a branch of the human family tree, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all peoples. From a theological perspective, these records affirm the sovereignty of God over the nations and His providential plan for humanity. Sabtah, like other figures in the Table of Nations, is part of the broader narrative that sets the stage for the unfolding of God's redemptive history, which ultimately leads to the calling of Abraham and the establishment of Israel as God's chosen people. The genealogies remind readers of the continuity of God's promises and His faithfulness across generations.
