newfag to Christian. Looking to clear a discrepancy. how could it be that a single patriarch can generate a 'tribe'. is tribe synonymous with race?

for example Isaac fathered esau and Jacob who would consequently become the patriarchs of their respective tribes of Edom and Israel. Despite being full blooded brothers they spawned different tribes that developed highly unique 'racial' characteristics in a matter of centuries and millennium, these standpoints would not bode well in the field of genetics or biology. Is it not the general consensus that Esau spawned the modern jewish race and Jacob the Israelites (not to be confused with jews). am I missing something? Ishmael spawning the 'arabic' race would be another example of a patron generating a race in the inadequate span of millennium or centuries.

Do they?

Tribe is not synonymous with race. For example, all caucasoid races may be traced back to Japeth ("Jupiter" to the Romans), but all caucasoids are certainly not one tribe.

Another example: the descendants of Magog, Jalheths second son.

The name "Mongol" appears to be directly derived from the name Magog. In India Mongol possibly became Moghul and a large part of China was known as Mangi when Europeans first visited it. The Arabs called the Scythian tribes of Tartary Ya'jūj and Ma'jūj (Arabic: ‎), taken to mean "Gog and Magog" and the Great Wall of China as "the wall of Magog" (Arabic: , Haa'it al-Ma'jūj). In the 13th century AD, Marco Polo knew that the Mongols were descendants of Magog. He further understood the names of "Ung and Mungu" in China to be "Gog and Magog."

So we have descendants of Japheth across multiple races, with their lineage being traceable to what was once one tribe. TL;DR race =/= tribe.

Tribe means nation, it is essentially an extended family, which is why patriarchs are relevant
