In that story each faction chose a king and a land, and became a nation. The land also had influence. Some lands had an influence that was particularly conducive to one traite, while other lands were conducive to other traits. Each group found a land which was particularly good in this respect, and settled there. This list shows the kabbalistic attributes associated with each nation and land. It is not a definitive list, and there are other opinions.

== Categorizing Modern Faiths ==

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:* ''~~midah~~ attribute'' '''shebe Chesed''' - Philosophical religions, Greeks & Hellenism. Religions which attempt to see the divine in everything.* ''~~midah~~ attribute'' '''shebe Gevurah''' - Ascetic religions. Religions which see physicality as an obstacle to the divine.* ''~~midah~~ attribute'' '''shebe Tiferet''' - Oratory religions. Religions which stress sermons, dogma and apologetics* ''~~midah~~ attribute'' '''shebe Netzach''' - Far Eastern religions. Religions stressing levels of perception and states of consciousness.* ''~~midah~~ attribute'' '''shebe Hod''' - Sacramental religions. Religions stress the use of sacraments and other objects for inspiration and imitation of the divine.* ''~~midah~~ attribute'' '''shebe Yesod''' - "Works" oriented religions. Religions stressing charity and other good works, for the pursuit of righteousness.* ''~~midah~~ attribute'' '''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?]
