E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Genesis 10:21
Shem: comes last (ace. to the Structure, which is an Introversion) because his "Generations" occupy the rest of the book. Hence when mentioned with the other two, Shem the youngest comes first. See note Genesis 5:32 ; Genesis 9:24 ; Genesis 10:1 . the elder , See Genesis 5:32 . Shem (N.T. Sem) was the seed-line that Christ would come through (Luke 3:36 ). read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 10:11-13
"Out of that land, he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city)."This extremely interesting passage explains the mystery of the great size of the city of Nineveh, which was actually a complex of the four cities: Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, Resen, and Nineveh. Thus, there is no reason whatever to deny the statement in Jonah that it was a "city of three days' journey," thus having a circumference of some... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 10:14
"Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim ..." The critics go to work on this to find some kind of a mistake in it, since in Amos 9:7, reference is made to the Philistines having come from Caphtor. So what? They went from BOTH places to the land of Palestine to which area they gave their name "Palestine." The first wave of immigrants to what would become later "The Holy Land" undoubtedly came from Casluhim, and a later group of Philistines from Caphtor followed. There can be... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 10:15-20
"Canaan ..." This was the grandson of Noah whom that patriarch cursed for his despicable behavior during the event of Noah's drunkenness, and it should be noted that none of Canaan's posterity could be identified with the Negro race, who were actually descended from Ham, not from Canaan. Moreover, their homeland was not primarily Africa, but Palestine, from Sidon to Sodom and Gomorrah. They were the pre-Israelite Canaanites, notorious for their sexual debauchery, their vile sex gods, and the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 10:21
"Shem ... father of all the children of Eber ..." Eber gave his name to the Hebrews. "Hebrew = Eberite."[13] As Willis pointed out, it is the importance of Eber as the ancestor of the Hebrews that leads to the mention of his name at the head of the genealogy, despite the fact of his being, not the son, but the "great-grandson of Shem."[14]"Shem, the elder brother of Japheth ..." There is a marginal reference in the ASV on this place which reads "the brother of Japheth the elder." Willis and... read more

"Amram ..." These were the Aramaeans who built the great city of Damascus which figured prominently in the history of the Hebrews. In time, their language, the Aramaic langauge, replaced the ancient language of the Jews, and in the times of Jesus Christ, it was the language of the people.[16] read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 10:11
Genesis 10:11. Out of that land went forth Ashur, &c.— As Ashur was one of the descendants of Shem, see Gen 10:22 it has been thought strange that he should be mentioned in this place; and therefore the reading of the margin of our Bibles has been preferred by many: Out of that land, he (Nimrod) went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, &c. so called from his son Ninus. Of this city we shall have occasion to speak more hereafter. Rehoboth, there is reason to believe, is the Birtha... read more
