divided: i.e. in judgment. Compare Genesis 10:25 . Here parad = disruption in judgment. God's division (Genesis 10:25 ) included ZION. Man's disruption included BABYLON (Genesis 11:2 , Genesis 11:9 ). read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 10:29-32

"Ophir ..." This was a famous name among the Jews, for it was to Ophir that Solomon's great triennial navy traveled to bring gold for the decoration of the temple. Strangely enough, we cannot tell exactly where it was located. Whitelaw located it "probably at Oman on the coast of Arabia,"[17] and Josephus, Delitzsch, and others have thought it must be identified with some coastal city in India. It is not really known.CONCLUSIONThe human family must not ignore this chapter. It teaches the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 10:31

Genesis 10:31. After their families, &c.— In Gen 10:5 also it is said, that they were divided, after their tongues, families, and nations; whence it seems to follow, that they were first ranged according to their nations, and then every nation was ranged after its families; so that every nation dwelt, and had its lot, by itself; and in every nation the families also dwelt, and had their lots, by themselves: for the true import of this, and the like texts, seems to be, that the land or... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 10:32

Genesis 10:32. By these were the nations divided, &c.— See Acts 17:26. From what hath gone before, it appears, that, to speak according to a general view of things, some instances excepted, the sons of Japheth peopled Europe; the sons of Shem, Asia; and the sons of Ham, Africa. But the question is, how came that fourth and late discovered part of the earth, America, to be peopled? For a full answer to this question we refer the reader to an excellent dissertation on this subject in the 20th... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 10:32

32. These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations, c.—This division was made in the most orderly manner and the inspired historian evidently intimates that the sons of Noah were ranged according to their nations, and every nation ranked by its families, so that every nation had its assigned territory, and in every nation the tribes, and in every tribe the families, were located by themselves. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 10:1-32

The Nations descended from NoahThis section gives the origins and situations of the nations of the world, as their relationships were conceived by the early Hebrews. Before passing to the history of the chosen race, the author traces the ties by which the rest of mankind are united with his own people, and shows the position of Israel among the nations. Each nation is regarded as a unity, and is summed up in the person of its supposed ancestor. The nations being treated as individuals, it... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 10:26-31

(26-31) Joktan.—“The little one,” as being a younger son. Of the thirteen divisions of his family, few are of any importance, though several of the names are curious from their connection with the Arabic language. The Joktanite country was Arabia Felix, or Yemen, and as the people led a pastoral life without founding cities, the traces of their tribal names are insignificant. Those worth noting are Almodad, because it has the full form of the article, retained as Al in Arabic, but shortened in... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 10:32

(32) After their generations.—Heb., according to their Tôldôth. This makes it probable that each family preserved in some way an historical record of its descent; and as this table is called the Tôldôth of the Sons of Noah, it was probably formed by a comparison of numerous Tôldôth, each showing the descent of various members of the three great families into which the sons of Noah were divided. read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Genesis 10:1-32

V. THE GENERATIONS OF THE SONS OF NOAH CHAPTER 10 Shem, Ham, and Japheth and Their Seed 1. The sons of Japheth (Genesis 10:2-5 ) 2. The sons of Ham (Genesis 10:6-20 ) 3. The sons of Shem (Genesis 10:21-32 ) Here we have the beginning of the nations. God knows them and keeps track of the nations of the earth. The order of the sons of Noah is here changed. Japheth comes first. Ham’s place is unchanged. Shem comes last. This order is given in view of Noah’s prophecy. Among the descendants... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 10:1-32

DESCENDANTS OF NOAH In this chapter the genealogy of Japheth is given first (vs.1-5). Their history is not pursued in the book of Genesis: their character was that of the energy of independence, and though at first it seems they were involved in the building of the tower of Babel (for all Noah's family evidently remained at that time close to that area), yet they soon spread northward and had no significant connection with Abraham and his descendants. There is more said about the family of... read more
