| | I've been gone for a while (hard to believe it's been almost a month) due to being busy again. I'll try to be able to post quickly at least once a week in the future. If I take a month in-between posts, I may never get through the Bible!
Genesis 10 is an easy one to knock off. It's mostly a family tree of Grandpa Noah, that great guy God chose as the father of humanity. I guess if you're trying to keep a play-by-play history of the Israelites, this might be vaguely useful, but what it's doing in a Holy Book meant for the whole world I'm not sure.
I guess if we had any way of knowing whether or not these people were real and what they did, and the significance of the places they allegedly went to, it could be an interesting footnote. I guess I'll find out how many of these people and places actually play a role in the rest of the story, but my hunch and recollection is most of them will not. Once again, God could use an editor to cut out all the bloat in this book.
One interesting thing to note is that it talks about people having different languages. We haven't yet heard the story of the Tower of Babel yet. Is it possible different languages developed *before* God allegedly did so? Houston, we have a problem! |
