OT: The Book of Genesis, Chapter 10

Genesis 10:1-32

10:1 This is a quick and easy chapter! The genealogy of the sons of Noah.

10:2-4 These were ancient nations, populations have continued to scatter since.

10:5 Gentiles are mentioned, therefore we again acknowledge that Noah alone did not populate the world. It also suggests that rather than a flooding of the whole earth, only a corrupted region was affected.

10:6-12 Generations of Japheth are listed. Nimrod would become a corrupt but prominent figure. 

10:13-20 Generations of Ham are listed.

10:21-31 Generations of Shem are listed.

10:32 "These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood."
