Javan is traditionally associated with the people and regions that later became known as Greece and its surrounding areas. His descendants are often linked to the maritime nations and the spread of Greek culture and influence.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br>Javan is first mentioned in the Table of Nations in <a href="/bsb/genesis/10.htm">Genesis 10</a>, which outlines the descendants of Noah's sons after the Flood. <a href="/genesis/10-2.htm">Genesis 10:2-5</a> states: "The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations."<br><br><b>Genealogical Significance:</b><br>Javan is listed as the fourth son of Japheth, and his descendants are associated with the spread of Indo-European peoples. The names of Javan's sons—Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim—are often linked to various regions and peoples in the Mediterranean and Aegean areas. Elishah is sometimes associated with the region of Cyprus or parts of Greece, Tarshish with a distant trading partner possibly in Spain, Kittim with Cyprus, and Dodanim with the Dodecanese Islands or Rhodes.<br><br><b>Prophetic and Historical Context:</b><br>In the prophetic books, Javan is often used to represent the Greek world. For instance, in <a href="/daniel/8-21.htm">Daniel 8:21</a> , the angel Gabriel interprets a vision for Daniel, saying, "The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king." This reference to Greece as Javan underscores the connection between Javan and the Greek people.<br><br>Similarly, in the book of Isaiah, Javan is mentioned in the context of the distant lands that will hear of God's glory. <a href="/isaiah/66-19.htm">Isaiah 66:19</a> states: "I will set a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud, to Tubal and Javan, to the distant islands that have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. And they will proclaim My glory among the nations."<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Implications:</b><br>Javan's association with Greece is significant in understanding the spread of Hellenistic culture and its eventual interaction with the Jewish world, particularly during the intertestamental period and the New Testament era. The influence of Greek language and thought is evident in the New Testament, which was written in Koine Greek, a testament to the widespread impact of Javan's descendants.<br><br>Theologically, Javan's inclusion in the Table of Nations highlights the biblical theme of the dispersion of peoples and the diversity of nations stemming from a common ancestry. This serves as a backdrop for the biblical narrative of God's plan for all nations, ultimately fulfilled in the Great Commission, where the gospel is to be preached to all peoples, including those descended from Javan.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>Javan's role in the Bible, while not extensively detailed, is crucial for understanding the historical and cultural context of the ancient world, particularly in relation to the Greek influence that permeated the Mediterranean region. His mention in both genealogical and prophetic texts underscores the interconnectedness of nations and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan across diverse peoples and cultures.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Javan</span><p>deceiver; one who makes sad<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Javan</span><p>(<i>clay</i>). <ol> <li>A son of Japheth.
