in the bible his name is ''Éber''(עֵבֶר, )From wich Derives the Word Hebrew,
Seeing that he is the ancestor of Hebrews.
The Word ''''Yahud''is Derievd from His Arabic name ''Hud''ánd it shows he is the father of the Early Jews .
He is also the Ancestor of Arabs ,Both Qahtani and Adnani.
But there is recent Evidence that Teh Semitic Race did Originate From Yemen.
after all Sem ibn Nuh ,The Oldest Son and Wasi(Successer)of Nuh,Founded The city of Sana'a(According to Yemeni Tradition)and it is not Unlikely that His sons originated from Here:
The Book of ''Be'eresith or Genesis Gives soem Light into this Nasb(Lineage)(the bible may or not have Truth in it and i am using it only for the sake of Theory and not upholding its contents Vs.Historical Facts)
Be'eresith 10:22-31
22 The children of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad and Lud and Aram. 23 And the children of Aram; Uz and Hul, and Gether and Mash. 24 And Arphaxad begat Salah and Salah begat Eber. 25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother´s name was Joktan. 26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah. 27 And Hadoram, and Uzal and Diklah, 28 And Obal, and Abimael and Sheba, 29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east 31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Be'eresith 11: 10-31
Shem begat Arphaxad( and begat sons and daughters), Arphaxad begat Salah (+sons & daughters), Salah begat Eber(+sons & daughters), Eber begat Peleg (+sons & daughters),and Peleg begat Reu (+sons & daughters), and Reu begat Serug (+sons & daughters), and Serug begat Nahor, and Nahor begat Terah (+sons & daughters),and Terah begat Abram (his wife was Sarai) ,Nahor, and Haran, and Haran begat Lot.
now its interesting because :
Eber is described as the Father of Hazarmaveth wuich is the Hebrew for Hadhramawt.
the Hadhrami arabs inhabit hadhramawt province in Yemen.
He is also Seen as the father of uzal the Ancient name for the city of Sana'a
Also the people of Saba are clearly mentioned here.
now Joktan is mostly seen as the hebrew equivilant for Qahtan the forefather of all Yemeni Arabs.
in both cases the Hebrew geneology Tree outs the forefather of Ibrahim as Peleg of falaj of the muslim Tradition.
Arpachsad is possibly Arhhazed of the muslim Tradition.
Ashur(assyria)Aram(Aramea)are all Semitic peoples!
it should be noted these lineages are copied from Jewish sources and are not found within hadith so they may or not be True .
The genetic evidence semites came from yemen.
The Haplogroup Haplogroup J (Y-DNA)is found within all Semites ,its Descendants are:
Haplogroup J1 (M267) (Y-DNA)Wich is Found within :
Arabs,levantines,and Jews(Sephardic and Ashkenazi) aswell as other Groups of people,but mainly in these groups.
Haplogroup J2 (Y-DNA)
it is found within :
Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Israel, Palestine, Greece, Italy and the Iberian Peninsula, and more frequently in Iraqis 29.7% , Lebanese 25%, Palestinians 16.8%, Syrians 22.5% , India 7%, Sephardic Jews 29%, Kurds 28.4%, Saudi Arabia 15.92%[, Jordan 14.3%, Oman 10-15%, UAE 10.4%, Yemen 9.7%, in Israel, in Palestine, and in Turkey.[
The J 1(Y-DNA)Originated in The Arabian Peninsula and all the Descendants of this Haplogroup originated in Arabia Felix(Yemen and Oman)and this supportas the Fact that Sem founded Sana'a and that Hud was the forefather of Israelites and Arabs.
Hud was From the Ad People of what is now Yemen and Oman.
This Haplogroup is not found among africans,and the theory that the original arabs were from the african continent is flawed.
