Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition
יֶפֶת pr.n. Japheth, the second [query eldest] son of Noah (Genesis 5:32, 7:13 9:18, seq.), whose descendants (-Genesis 10:25) are stated to have especially occupied the western and northern regions of the earth; this accords well enough with the etymology of the name, which has the sense of widely-extending, from the root פָּתָה; see Genesis 9:27, LXX. Ἰάφεθ.
