Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 10:1-32
CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 10:1. Generations] The origins, genesis, or developments; a characteristic note of this book. The whole chapter is a table of the nations which descended from the sons of Noah.—Genesis 10:2. Japheth] “The order of the generations of the sons of Noah here followed is Japheth, Ham, Shem. The reason why this arrangement begins with Japheth is that he was the eldest of the three. Ham follows next, in order that the main subject, the line of Shem, may be free for treatment;... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 10:1-32
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah ( Genesis 10:1 ),And as we get into chapter ten, this chapter has been called the "Table of Nations". And here you have the beginning of all of the various nations of the world, the various ethnic groups with these sons of Noah. "These are the generations of the sons of Noah."Seth is probably the one who put these generations together. We follow for a little bit the line of Ham, a little bit the line of Japheth, and then when we get to the line... read more

Genesis 10:1-32Now these are the generations of the sons of NoahA chapter of genealogiesMany readers might be disposed to undervalue a chapter like this, since it is but a collection of names--some of which are quite unknown--and is made up of barren details promising little material for profitable reflection.Yet a thoughtful reader will be interested here, and discover the germs and suggestions of great truths; for the subject is man, and man, too, considered in reference to God’s great... read more

SONS OF HAM, Genesis 10:6-20. The three first sons of Ham settled in Northern Africa. 1) The Ethiopians (Cushites) of the Upper Nile. 2) The Egyptians (Mizraim) of the Lower Nile. 3) The Libyans (the Phutites) west of the Egyptians, in the east of Northern Africa. The Cushites appear to have removed from the high North-east, (of Central Asia,) passing over India, Babylonia, and Arabia, in their course towards the south. The Canaanites settled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan, and... read more

19. The territory of the Canaanites is now described, in general terms, as commencing at the Phenician city of Sidon and running southward to Gerer and Gaza, cities of the Philistines, then spreading eastward to the great plain of Siddim, which is now covered by the southern portion of the Dead Sea, but which, at the time this narrative was written, was occupied by the cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim . This statement shows that this chapter must have been written at least as... 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
