The semitic peoples are the progeny of Shem, one of the three sons of Noah. Many other Middle Eastern nations descended from Shem, but the Ashkenazi descended from Gomer, who descended from Noah’s second son Japheth. Many European nations descended from Japheth. The third son was Ham, whom many Middle Eastern and African nations descended from. This is outlined in Genesis 10.
