In biblical genealogy, the term "Gentiles" primarily refers to people descended from Japheth, one of Noah's three sons. The other two sons, Shem and Ham, had lineages that are distinct from the "Gentiles".
Here's a more detailed breakdown:- Japheth: His descendants are often associated with the nations of Europe, Asia Minor, and parts of the Near East. The term "Gentile" is used in the Bible to distinguish these groups from the Israelites, who are primarily from the line of Shem.
- Shem: His descendants are the focus of the Old Testament, with the Israelites being a prominent lineage.
- Ham: His descendants are associated with Africa and parts of the Middle East.

In the biblical story, Noah did not curse his son Ham directly. Instead, Noah cursed Canaan, Ham's son, after becoming aware of Ham's disrespectful act of seeing and revealing his father's nakedness. The curse on Canaan was that he would be a servant to his brothers and their descendants.
Here's a breakdown:
Noah's drunkenness and exposure: Noah became drunk and exposed himself in his tent.
Ham's action: Ham saw his father's nakedness and told his brothers, Shem and Japheth.
Shem and Japheth's response: Shem and Japheth, upon hearing of Noah's state, covered him with a garment while walking backward to avoid seeing his nakedness.
Noah's curse: When Noah awoke and learned what had happened, he cursed Canaan, Ham's son, not Ham himself. The curse stated that Canaan would be a servant to his brothers.
Purpose of the curse: The curse is interpreted as a prophecy regarding the future relationship between the Israelites (descendants of Shem) and the Canaanites (descendants of Canaan).

Have they broken it? The answer is yes.
The promise God made to the Israelites is generally understood to be eternal, or everlasting.Please show me from your Quran where Allah states that He will revoke His promise if the Israelites fail to fulfill a specific condition, and pls specify what that condition is.

According to Genesis 21, it was not the birth of Isaac that stirred up trouble; it was his growth. When Isaac was born, Hagar and her son Ishmael were not bothered very much. But after Isaac had grown up, Ishmael began to mock him (v. 9). In the biblical sense, this means that Ishmael was persecuting Isaac. God even counted Ishmael’s persecution of Isaac as the beginning of the four-hundred-year persecution of His people (15:13; Acts 7:6). Ishmael’s mocking was a serious thing because Isaac was God’s ordained seed and Ishmael was the counterfeit
According to the Bible, Hagar and Ishmael left when Ishmael was just a baby, which means, before Isaac was born.
So, how come the Bible can have stories like that?

God's promises in the Bible were not affected by human logic lah!

God initiated His own promises and He did not need anyone to agree or disagree lah!

As per Bible, Sarah is also Abraham’s sister .
Can you explain How could God allow Abraham to have a child with his sister?
Could you update the details of the contract between Abraham and Hager?
Did God of Abraham accept Ishmael as a son of Abraham?

You have to agree with the Jewish and Christian scriptures...if you don agree then maybe the Quran is not true... the Quran is telling you that the land belongs to the Israelis.

Abraham and Sarah were both descendants of Terah, but not siblings in the immediate sense.
Half-Sister Explanation:
Abraham explained that Sarah was his half-sister to King Abimelech to avoid being killed by the Egyptians who might desire his beautiful wife, according to the Bible Space.
