"Here the Khazars appear with the Turks and the Chinese in the portion
assigned to Tuj, the eldest son. Some of the stories connect the Khazars with Abraham.
The tale of a meeting in Khurasan between the sons of Keturah (Genesis 25:1; 25:4; 1
Chronicles 1:32-33) and the Khazars (Ashkenaz) (Genesis 10:3) where the Khaqan is
Khaqan is mentioned is quoted from the Sa'd and al-Tabari by Poliak.
"The tradition also appears in the Meshed manuscript of ibn-al-Faqih,
apparently as part of the account of Tamim ibn-Babr's journey to the Uigurs, but it
goes back to Hishim al-Kalbi. Zeki Validi is inclined to lay some stress on it as a
real indication of the presence of the Khazars in this region at an early date.
Al-Jahiz similarly refers to the legend of the sons of Abraham and Keturah settling in
Khurasan but does not mention the Khazars. Al-Di-Mashqi says that according to one
tradition the Turks were the children of Abraham by Keturah, whose father belonged to
the original Arab stock. Descendants of other sons of Abraham, namely the Soghdians
and the Kirgiz, were also said to live beyond the Oxus..." (The History of The Jewish
Khazars, by D.M. Dunlop, pp. 4-15. This book is especially important because the Jews
make reference to it in all of their Jewish Encyclopedias, and uphold him as an
authority on Jewish History)
But to go back, we read in Genesis 11:1-2, "The whole earth was of one
language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east."
"As they journeyed" is indefinite, i.e., as some journeyed, by no means as "all"
journeyed. This was merely the first migration of a section of the human race from its
eastern cradle and "they found a plain in the land of Shinar." (Genesis 11:2)
This was entirely a Hamitic migration for Genesis 10 says Nimrod (grandson of
Ham) began to be a mighty one in the earth, and the beginning of his kingdom was
"Babel" and Erech and Accad and Calneh in the land of Shinar. From thence "the Lord
scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth" (Genesis 11:9); that is, all
engaged in the building of the tower were scattered over the whole world. this may
quite well have been the case, and yet not all mankind have been present at Babel.
Even the whole Hamite family need not have been engaged n the work.
It seems possible certainly that some of the descendants of Canaan had already
gone "abroad," for after giving the genealogies of the "ites" Genesis 10:18 says,
"afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad."
The "Sinite" tribe of the widespread family of Canaan is, undoubtedly, to be
looked for in China, "the land of Sinim," mentioned in Isaiah 49:12. The people whom
the English call Chinese call themselves the "Tsin" and by the Romans were called
"Sinae." The Hivite tribe, the "Hui," as it is in the Hebrew may be traced in "Hue,"
the capital of Annam, in Cochin China.
No three letters are more used in Chinese names than s, i and n; "sin."
"Ahsin" is so common that it has become a synonym for Chinamen. The "land of Sinim" is
an accurate title, "im" being the plural. The Encyclopedia Britannica states that
ancient China was known by several names, according to location. The southern part,
reached by sea route, was always some form of Sin, Chin, Sinoe or China. The northern
part reached by land route through Asia was first Seres, and in the Middle Ages was
known to Europe as Cathay.
"Some people, once they adopt an idea, bury it in the ground
and go on the rest of their lives defending it, without ever
re-examining it to see whether time and the elements have
caused it to decay into a worthless handful of dust. In that
way you can be always consisten; and often wrong." (Raymond
Clapper)
