James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 10:1-32

THE NATIONS This chapter is more than a list of names of individuals. Several are names of families or nations, and make it the most important historical document in the world. You will see that the stream of the race divides according to the three sons of Noah. Whose division is first traced (Genesis 10:2 )? What part of the world was settled by his offspring (Genesis 10:5 )? This might read: “By these were the coast lands of the nations divided,” and research indicates that the names of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 10:1-32

The Fountains of History Gen 10:1-5 Shall I be far wrong if I suppose that few of you have ever read the tenth chapter of Genesis right through? Certainly, from a glance at the long, hard names, one would think that there is not much here for the edification of the reader, and that the best thing that can be done is to skip the chapter. Yet there are some home-words here, and hidden under rough husks are some germs, out of which perhaps we ourselves may have come! In the fifth verse you find... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 10:32

REFLECTIONS. How graciously hath God watched over the promised seed, in the family of Shem, and so particularly marked down the descendants of the chosen race, from whom, after the flesh, that Holy Thing (as he is emphatically called in his own word) was to spring, Christ in the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. And how graciously hath God been pleased to note the features of his people in every age, by that uniform mark, by which they are known, of a poor and afflicted people. While... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 10:15-32

15-32 The posterity of Canaan were numerous, rich, and pleasantly seated; yet Canaan was under a Divine curse, and not a curse causeless. Those that are under the curse of God, may, perhaps, thrive and prosper in this world; for we cannot know love or hatred, the blessing or the curse, by what is before us, but by what is within us. The curse of God always works really, and always terribly. Perhaps it is a secret curse, a curse to the soul, and does not work so that others can see it; or a slow... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 10:21-32

The Sons of Shem v. 21. Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. Shem is here called the father of all the children of Eber, the Hebrews in the wider sense of the word, because Eber, through his sons Peleg and Joktan, was the progenitor of two distinct series of peoples, the Joktanites of Arabia and the Abrahamites, afterward the children of Israel. v. 22. The children of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and... read more

THIRD SECTIONThe Ethnological Table. Genesis 10:1-321Now these are the generations [genealogies] of the sons of Noah; [they were] Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and unto them were sons born after the flood.1. The Japhethites (Genesis 10:2-5).2The Sons of Japheth; Gomer [the Cimmerians, in the Taurian Chersonesus; Crimea], and Magog [Scythians], and Madai [Medes], and Javan [Ionians], and Tubal [Tibereni], and Meschech 3[Moschi], and Tiras [Thracians]. And the sons of Gomer1; Ashkenaz1 [Germans, Asen],... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 10:1-32

In this chapter we have a simple and straightforward account of the dispersion of the sons of Noah and their families after the Flood. The descendants of Japheth moved toward the isles or the coastlands. The descendants of Ham moved toward the plains of Shinar and thence on. The descendants of Shem moved toward the hill country of the east. It is not possible very clearly to define geographically today the districts occupied by various descendants of Noah. What is clear, however, and to be... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 10:31

‘These are the sons of Shem after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.’ Compare Genesis 10:5; Genesis 10:20. The descriptions confirms that ‘sons’ is to be taken in the broader context of describing tribes, lands and nations. The mention of language in each of these references is interesting. There is no attempt to divide by language. We must therefore see it as drawing attention to distinctions of language in preparation for the account given in Genesis... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 10:32

‘These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations, and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.’ This remarkable chapter has demonstrated the growth of the nations from the families of Noah and his sons, simplifying a most complicated situation. Its concern is to demonstrate that all known nations are descended from Noah. At this stage there are no ‘chosen people’. All nations are the same before God. But the connecting narrative will... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 10:1-32

Genesis 10. The Table of Nations.— From P and J. To P we may assign Genesis 10:1-Judges :; Genesis 10:20; Genesis 10:31 f. The rest belongs to J, for the most part to its secondary stratum, with some elements from R. The genealogy, as was customary among the Semites, expresses national rather than individual relationships. The true character of the lists may be seen quite clearly from many of the names, which are names of countries ( e.g. Cush, Mizraim, Ophir), or cities ( e.g. Tarshish,... read more
