About 2,150 verses with places or descendants of Shem stated.

* Couldn't find where these descendants of Shem settled in Genesis : Diklah , Eber, Eberites, Gether , Hadoram , Jobab , Joktan , Peleg , Salah , Shalah/Sala.
* Arpha= A certain field where Ezr communed with God
* Japheth= Unknown but this descendant of Shem is given the name of his uncle, brother of Shem.
Did the children of Shem bred their brothers and sisters or their cousins? None of the princes of Israel produced their tribes with Israelite women, but with non Israelites.
When I bring up the fact that Abraham produced children with non descendants of Shem, goofy people say.. well "they were only part Hebrew", "They were only part Semites".. such BS. All the Israelites were only fractions of Hebrews, fractions the descendants of Shem... Tribe of Simeon/Canaanites, Tribe of Judah/Canaanites, Tribe of Joseph/Egyptians.. and of course Canaanites/Egyptians are linked to being descendants of Ham.
There was no such thing as a pure line of Hebrews or "Semites" the Israelites were a crock pot of every other Arab tribe/nation they ever encountered.
Here are a few people and places the descendants of Shem were scattered into in the book of Genesis/Bershit.

* GENESIS 25:1 Again Abraham took a wife named Keturah (Shem's descendants through Abraham and Keturah) , Abida, Asshurim, Dedan, Eldaah, Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Ishbak, Jokshan, Letushim, Leummim, Medan, Midian, Sheba, Shuah, Zimran
* Names of wives or mostly descendants of Esau (Edomites) who are descendants of Shem: Achbor, Aholibamah, Ajah, Akan, Alvah, Alvan, Amalek, Anah, Aran, Avith, Baalhanan, Bashemath, Bedad, Bela, Beor, Bilhah, Bilhan, Bozrah, Canaan, Cheran, Dinhabah, Dishan, Dishon, Ebal, Edom, Elah, Eliphaz, Eshban, Ezer, Gatam, Hadad, Hadar, Hemam, Hemdan, Hori, Horites, Husham, Iram, Ithran, Jaalam, Jetheth, Jeush, Jobab, Kenaz, Korah, Lotan, Magdiel, Manahath, Masrekah, Matred, Mehetabel, Mezahab, Mibzar, Midian, Mizzah, Nahath, Omar, Onam, Pau, Pinon, Rehoboth, Reuel, Samlah, Saul, Seir, Shammah, Shepho, Shobal, Teman, Temani, Timna, Timnah, Uz, Zaavan, Zepho, Zerah, Zibeon, Zilpah

*************************************************
When there is a letter to the Left, these are ball park locations where descendants of Shem were scattered and you can see the letters on the map below.
*************************************************

A - Aram= 32 53 01 N= 36 11 37 E, Syria
A - Laban, brother to Rebekah 24:29, nephew of Abraham, his father came from Iraq to Syria. Father of Rachel and Leah.
A - Leah daughter of Laban, granddaughter of Nahor (Abraham's brother) who came from Iraq to Syria.
A - Rachel daughter of Laban, granddaughter of Nahor (Abraham's brother) who came from Iraq to Syria.
A - Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor (Abraham's brother) who came from Iraq to Syria. Rebekah wife of Isaac = niece of Abraham's brother who came from Iraq to Syria
B - Ashur= 35 33 38 N, 43 10 17 E, Iraq
C - Elam= 30 32 42 N, 48 43 07 E, Iraq
D - Havilah= Near the garden of Eden in Iraq
E - Mesha= Some scholars would identify it with Arabia (*Massa)
E - Obal/Ebal= (1) A people and region of Joktanite, Arabia
F - Almodad= In Almodad we have probably the Arabic El-Mudad, a name which occurs among the descendants of Jurhum, son of Yaktan (Joktan). Hazarmaveth is obviously Hadramaut. Uzal is the ancient name of San`a, the capital of the Yemen
F - Jerah= No district Jerah has been discovered. However, Yurakh in Yemen and Yarach in Hijaz are places named by the Arabic geographers.
F - Ophir= Their area lies between Saba in the Yemen
F - Sheleph= the name of a Yemenite tribe or district, named on Sabean inscriptions and also by Arabian geographers, located in Southern Arabia (Yemen)
G - Sephar= Judging from the names of other sons of Joktan, a mountain or promontory in S Arabia
H - Sheba= 31 13 58 N, 34 49 48 E, a territory in Palestinia. (south west of what is now called Israel)
I - Uzal= connected with 'Azal, given by Arab historians as the ancient name of in Yemen.
J - Abraham= Ur/Iraq to Canaan / Israel
J - Hul= This would fall on the boundary of Zebulun and Naphtal (Israel)
K - Abimael= a south Arabian tribe
L - Ammon/Ammoites= descendants of Lot's incest with his own daughters, settled in Jordan (married by the Israelites)
L - Hazarmaveth= Somewhere to the Southwest of Kadesh-barnea, a mountain Northwest of Petra (Jordan)
L - Moab/Moabites=Descendants of Lot's incest with his own two daughters, settled in Jordan, married by the Israelites.
L _ Lot = lived in Sodom, His daughters married G 19:14 (Jordan)
M - Lud= In Gen 10:13 Ludim appears as the firstborn of Mizraim (Egypt/North Africa), We have therefore to do with two different nationalities bearing the same name, and not always easy to distinguish. 1 Ch 1:11,17 simply repeat the statements of Gen 10:13,22. In Isa 66:19 Lud is mentioned with Tarshish and Pul (generally regarded as a mistake for Phut), Tubal, Javan, and the isles. Accepting this emendation, the passage agrees with Jer 46:9, where the Ludim are spoken of with Kush and Phut as the allies of Egypt.
N - Uz= Job's homeland, the location of which is uncertain. Of the numerous suggestions (e.g. near Palmyra, near Antioch, or in N Mesopotamia [ Syria or Iraq]) the two most likely are Hauran, S of Damascus, and the area between Edom and N Arabia.

***

Ignorant people have it in their noggin, that the divisions of people began with Isaac and Ishmael, but the nations did not begin with them, nor did they even exist until centuries after the flood.
Shem's descendants did not all migrate to Canaan/Israel to become the Israelites but almost all of Shem's thousands of descendants were NON Israelites who became part of the empires Assyria, Babylon, Persia who conquered the Israelites.
There is not enough room on the map below to begin to mark the places where the descendants of Shem were scattered. I just used Genesis here and did not come close to listing all the lands the descendants of Shem were spread into.

* The letters on the map correspond to the ball park locations of where Shem's descendants were scattered in the book of Genesis/Bershit. (Verses given above, with these letters to the left)

* The top of the map "ark" is about where Noah & crew docked on Mt. Ararat.

* d Is the land Area of the Hebrews/Abraham/Chaldeans/Iraqis.

* To the left of the map are Europeans claiming to be "Jews/descendants of the native people of Iraq".

* To the right of the map are actual natives of isolated places in Iraq, for your own comparison to those who call themselves "Jews".
