THE historical credibility of the present section has been challenged. 1. On account of a fancied resemblance to the ethnographic mythologies of Greece, the genealogical table of the nations has been relegated to the category of fictitious invention. It has been assigned by... read more

And the sons of Cush; Seba . Meroe, in Nubia, north of Ethiopia (Josephus, 'Ant.,' 2. 10). And Havilah . ευ ̓ ι ̈́ λα Ì ( LXX .); may refer to an African tribe, the Avalitae, south of Babelmandeb (Keil, Lange, Murphy), or the district of Chaulan in Arabia Felix (Rosenmüller, Kalisch, Wordsworth). Genesis 10:29 mentions Havilah as a Shemite territory. Kalisch regards them as "the same country, extending from the Arabian to the Persian Gulf, and, on account of its vast... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 10:8

And Cush begat —not necessarily as immediate progenitor, any ancestor being in Hebrew styled a father— Nimrod ; the rebel, from maradh, to rebel; the name of a person, not of a people; —Namuret in ancient Egyptian. Though not one of the great ethnic heads, he is introduced into the register of nations as the founder of imperialism. Under him society passed from the patriarchal condition, in which each separate clan or tribe owns the sway of its natural head, into that (more abject or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 10:8

Nimrod. 1. His ancestral pedigree—a Cushite. 2. His early occupation—a hunter of wild beasts, a pioneer of civilization. 3. His rising ambition—he began to be a "Gibber," or mighty one. 4. His regal authority—the beginning of his kingdom was Babel. 5. His extending empire—out of that land went he forth into Asshur. 6. His posthumous renown: "Wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod."— W . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 10:9

He was a mighty hunter . Originally doubtless of wild beasts, which, according to Bochart, was the first step to usurping dominion over men and using them for battle. " Nempe venationum prsetextu collegit juvenum robustam manum, quam talibus exercitus ad belli labores induravit " ('Phaleg.,' 54.12). Before the Lord . 1. ε ̓ ναντι ì ον κυρι ì ου ( LXX .), in a spirit of defiance. 2. Coram Deo, in God's sight, as an aggravation of his sin—cf. Genesis 13:3 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 10:10

And the beginning of his kingdom . Either his first kingdom, as contrasted with his second (Knobel), or the commencement of his sovereignty (Keil, Kalisch), or the principal city of his empire (Rosenmüller); or all three may be legitimately embraced in the term reshith, only it does not necessarily imply that Nimrod built any of the cities mentioned. Was Babel . Babylon, "the land of Nimrod" ( Micah 5:6 ), the origin of which is described in Genesis 11:1 , grew to be a great city... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 10:9

Genesis 10:9. Nimrod was a mighty hunter In the Septuagint it is, He was a giant hunter: the Arabic has it, He was a terrible giant before the Lord: and the Syriac, He was a great warrior. It is probable he began with hunting, and for this became famous to a proverb. He served his country by ridding it of wild beasts, and so insinuating himself into the affections of his neighbours, he got to be their prince. And perhaps, under pretence of hunting, he gathered men under his command, to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 10:10

Genesis 10:10. The beginning of his kingdom was Babel Some way or other, he got into power; and so laid the foundation of a monarchy which was afterward a head of gold. It does not appear that he had any right to rule by birth; but either his fitness for government recommended him, or by power and policy he gradually advanced himself to a throne. See the antiquity of civil government, and particularly of that form of it which lodges the sovereignty in a single person. read more

10:1-11:26 GENEALOGIES FROM NOAH TO ABRAMNations descended from Noah (10:1-32)This genealogy must have been written hundreds of years after the time of Noah, when his descendants had multiplied and moved to many places. By that time differences in language, race and culture were noticeable. The purpose of the listing here is to trace the origin of these groups, not to name every single descendant of Noah.Again the genealogy is simplified, being based on a selection of seventy descendants.
