Gênesis 11:5-9 NVIPT

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 11:1-32

In this chapter we have the account of a human movement against dispersion. The movement was one of rebellion and was frustrated by divine interposition. The divine intention was the covering of the whole earth. The human action was in opposition to that, as men said, "Lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." This rebellious purpose was frustrated by the confusion of tongues. Necessarily belief in this story demands belief in the possibility of God's direct intervention... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 11:1-9

The Tower of Babel Genesis 11:1-9 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We will give some suggestion as to the connecting link between our last study, and today's. There are two outstanding considerations. 1. Noah's drunkenness. Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood. Just when he began to be a husbandman we may not know, probably soon after he had adjusted himself to his new environment, inasmuch as his sons were still with him. As to his drunkenness we may observe: (1) God tells the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 11:9

‘WHAT WILL THESE BABBLERS SAY?’‘Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth.’ Genesis 11:9 I. God is not the Author of confusion, but of peace.—Yet once, in His wise compassion, He made confusion in order to prevent it; He destroyed peace, that in the end he might restore it.The history of Babel is far more than a record of the defeated attempt of wicked men to accomplish an impossible folly. The building of that tower was the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 11:1-9

THE SIN OF THE NATIONS (11:1-9). We are now to be shown why the nations divided up into different languages with the consequent suspicions, hatreds and warfares which resulted. Overall it will be seen as a result of puffed up pride and deliberate rebellion against God. (This chapter is only seen as a new chapter in our Bibles. In the record it was simply a continuation of the narrative). God has not been mentioned in Genesis 10:0 except as a superlative (Genesis 11:9). The nations have grown... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 11:1-9

Genesis 11:1-1 Samuel : . The City, the Tower, and the Confusion of Speech.— The section plainly belongs to J but not to the same stratum as the story of the Flood, nor is it consistent with the origin assigned to the various nations in Genesis 11:10. It is an æ tiological story (p. 134), naturally not historical, answering the question, Why is it that though the races of mankind have sprung from a common ancestry they speak so many different languages? The Divine jealousy, which fears what a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 11:5

Not by local descent, for he is every where; but by the manifestation of his presence and the effects of his power in that place. To see the city and the tower, i.e. to know the truth of the fact, thereby setting a pattern for judges to examine causes before they pass sentence; otherwise God saw this in heaven; but in these expressions he condescends to the capacity of men. The children of men, so called emphatically, 1. For distinction of them from the sons of God, or the race of Shem, who... read more

Let us, i.e. the blessed Trinity. See Genesis 1:26. Confound their language, by making them forget their former language, and by putting into their minds several languages; not a distinct language into each person, but into each family, or rather into each nation; that thereby they may be disenabled from that mutual commerce which was altogether necessary for the carrying on of that work. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 11:8

Thus they brought upon themselves the very thing they feared, and that more speedily and more mischievously to themselves; for now they were not only divided in place, but in language too, and so were unfitted for those confederacies and correspondences which they mainly designed, and for the mutual comfort and help of one another, which otherwise they might in good measure have enjoyed. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 11:1-9

CRITICAL NOTES.—The whole earth.] The then known world with all its human inhabitants. One language and of one speech.] Heb. Of one lip, and one (kind of) words. Murphy renders, “Of one lip and one stock of words,” and remarks, “In the table of nations the term ‘tongue’ was used to signify what is here expressed by two terms. This is not undesigned. The two terms are not synonymous or parallel, as they form the parts of one compound predicate. ‘One stock of words,’ then, we conceive, naturally... read more
