Genesis 9:18-28 records a curious scene. Noah got drunk and fell asleep naked in his tent. His son, Ham, took a peek at his father’s naked body and then told his brothers. His two brothers then covered their father, without looking. When Noah woke and realized what Ham had done, he cursed Ham’s son Canaan. I must confess that for many years I found...
The tenth chapter of Genesis is a genealogical record of Noah’s descendants. But it is really much more than a simple family tree. While it does include individuals, its primary purpose is to describe the historical relationships among the nations that derived from the sons of Noah.
Next to the creation and fall narrative and the flood account, the story of the Tower of Babel is likely the best-known story in the early chapters of Genesis. This story is set in Shinar, often translated as Babylonia. This was one of the areas where Nimrod, one of Ham’s grandsons, had built cities (Gen. 10:8-10). Babylon was one of those cities a...

For one of the sons, Joktan, the table includes his offspring and the territory where they lived (Gen. 10:25-29).

Apr 4, 2020 · Deuteronomy 32:8-9 says that the sons of God were alloted to the nations when God fixed the borders of the nation at The Babel event. Therefore, The Bible teaches that upon rejecting Yahweh’s authority, Yahweh gave them over to the gods they served (cf. Romans 1:24).
Jan 4, 2022 · From the Tower of Babel, humanity divided based on language (and possibly ethnicity) and settled in various parts of the world. Genesis 10:5, 20 and 31 describe Noah’s descendants spreading out over the earth “by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.”
Because the people had built a tower in defiance of Him, God then caused the one language on the earth to be confused. Once the languages were confounded the people scattered. Many questions arise concerning this account.
