Bible Study – Genesis 10

S – These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their family records, in their nations. The nations on earth spread out from these after the flood.

Genesis 10:32 CSB

O –  Commentary:

This passage is called the Table of Nations because its list explains the origin of most of the peoples of the ancient Near East. The names correspond to biblical names for major people groups, tribes, and regions (see vv. 31–32).

Faithlife Study Bible 

A – Noah’s family was charged to “be fruitful and multiply.”  This whole chapter gives an understanding of how different clans and people were populating the regions.  It also begins to give a divine picture of God’s presence and how people responded to it.  Some of the cities jump out as “rebellious” cities later in the Bible.

R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you.  We thank you for your presence.  We all come from the line of Noah, born into a sinful nature.  Thank you for the redemption and forgiveness that comes through accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior.  We love you today.
