He relates in the story that "It is written that there was a great hurricane in the world. This hurricane turned the whole world upside- down. Sea was transformed into dry land, and dry land into sea. Desolate areas became inhabited, while inhabited areas became desolate. It threw the whole world into confusion. After this period of panic and confusion, where all the world was disoriented, the people of the world decided to elect a king. They then delved into the question as to who would be most fit to be elected king. Upon deliberation, they finally said, 'We must focus on the goal of life. The person who strives the most toward this goal is the most fit to be king.'Hod shebe Gevurah''# [[Dedanite Nation]] - ''Yesod shebe Gevurah''# [[Ludite Nation]] - ''Malchut shebe Gevurah''But then they had to determine the goal of life. Regarding this question, there were many factions."

# 60 of these nations are identicle in each list making a conflict only in the identities of the remaining 9 (or 11 if one uses the [[Uzalite NationArizal]] - ''Chochmah shebe Yesod''# [[Diklahite Nation]] - ''Binah shebe Yesod''# [[Obalite Nation]] - ''Daat shebe Yesod''# [[Abimaelite Nation]] - ''Chesed shebe Yesod''# [[Shebaite Nation]] - ''Gevurah shebe Yesod''# [[Ophirite Nation]] - ''Tiferet shebe Yesod''# [[Havilahite Nation]] - ''Netzach shebe Yesod''# [[Jobabite Nation]] - ''Hod shebe Yesod''# [[Shemite Nation]] - ''Yesod shebe Yesod''# [[Arpachshadite Nation]] - ''Malchut shebe Yesod''count of 72 nations) from the total listed above of 80.

# [[Shelahite Nation]] - ==Glossary== * '''Chochmah shebe Malchut''' means wisdom, insight# [[Pelegite Nation]] - * '''Binah shebe Malchut''' means comprehension, understanding# [[Reuite Nation]] - * '''Daat shebe Malchut''' means factual knowledge# [[Serugite Nation]] - * '''Chesed shebe Malchut''' means kindness, inclusiveness, merging# [[Nahorite Nation]] - * '''Gevurah shebe Malchut''' means strictness, limiting, definition, clarity# [[Nahorian Nation]] - * '''Tiferet shebe ''' means beauty, balance, communication* '''Netzach''' means victory, talent* '''Hod''' means splendor, riches* '''Yesod''' means foundation, formation, action* '''Malchut''' means kingship, authority, final form# [[Lotite Nation]] - * '''Netzach shebe Malchut''' means "within" == Categorizing Modern Faiths == There have been many attempts to trace the traditional biblical nations in the Genesis 10-11 narrative to modern day ethnic groups. It is most likely that a credible lineage is no longer possible to achieve and that it may not be all that important. As we see in later Rabbinic literature the "seventy nations" are seen as the archetypes for distinct approaches to understanding, sometimes called "seventy paths" to G-d. Any attempt to map the current world faiths into the framework of diversity encompassed by the above seventy attributes would be difficult and subjective. However such a mapping would allow a way to categorize modern faiths. It could be the beginning of a legal framework for analyzing the relationship of each modern faith to authentic Jewish tradition, and in this context we can perhaps begin to speak about its possible rectification. # It is obvious that the national faith of the [[Israelite Nation]] is [[Judaism]], and Rabbinical literature has clearly stated that the [[Esavite Nation]] is associated with [[Christianity]] and the [[Ishmaelite Nation]] with [[Islam]]. Relying on definitions of these attributes from other sources in Jewish literature it can be seen that following top seven general categories appear:* ''attribute'' '''shebe Chesed''' - Philosophical religions, Greeks & Hellenism. Religions which attempt to see the divine in everything.* ''attribute'' '''shebe Gevurah''' - Ascetic religions. Religions which see physicality as an obstacle to the divine.* ''attribute'' '''Hod shebe MalchutTiferet'''- Oratory religions. Religions which stress sermons, dogma and apologetics# [[Esavite Nation]] * ''attribute'' '''shebe Netzach''' - Far Eastern religions. Religions stressing levels of perception and states of consciousness.* ''attribute'' '''Yesod shebe MalchutHod'''- Sacramental religions. Religions stress the use of sacraments and other objects for inspiration and imitation of the divine.# [[Israelite Nation]] * ''attribute'' '''shebe Yesod''' - "Works" oriented religions. Religions stressing charity and other good works, for the pursuit of righteousness.* ''attribute'' '''Malchut shebe Malchut''' - Formed religions. Each of the above, in a fully formed, articulated and demonstrated fashion. If it is true that the seventy nations are related to the seventy souls that went to egypt, and the seventy "viewpoints" of the judges of the sanhedrin, it means that the seventy nations are a "rainbow" of religious viewpoints. This would imply that there might be a way to match people with the mode of faith most suited to them, such as the test provided on BeliefNet [http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html What Religion am I?] ==Reference==<references /> [[Category:Benamozegh Approach]][[Category:Jewish Mysticism]][[Category:Seventy nations]]
