Togarmah
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
In the Torah, Togarmah is listed in the genealogy of nations as the son of Gomer, and grandson of Japheth (Gen. 10:3). Traditionally he is regarded as the ancestor of the Turkic-speaking peoples. See, e.g., King Joseph's Reply.
In the book of Ezekiel (27:14, 38:6), the descendents of Togarmah are described as trading horses and mules in Tyre and elsewhere in the Levant. Here Togarmah may refer to Armenians or Cimmerians.
