We come to the Tower of Babel and discover the hubris of humanity and God’s dividing up and separating the peoples of the earth. In my last issue, I described how some scholars think this section of Genesis should have come before the genealogies and geographies of Genesis 10. There…
Some scholars call this chapter the table of nations because you can see how the nations come about through Noah’s sons’ descendants. In my last issue, I talked about Noah’s drunkenness and Ham’s sin. We will see how that affects Genesis 10. As we talk about Genesis 10, there’s a…
