Genesis 10: Names

Summary: So and so begat so and so, so and so begat so and so, etc.

Personal Reflections: Not that much I find of interest here. There are only two of the people listed who have anything said about them beyond who their father, male siblings, and sons were. The two are, first, Nimrod, who is described as a mighty hunter. It is suggested that he was a hunter of men, not a hunter of game and therefore not a good man. The second is Peleg, who, it says was called that because he lived in the time the earth was divided. I suppose this could mean pangaea split in his time, but I don't think it would be unreasonable to suggest that, instead, it was the time when people began to break apart into different communities instead of living all together. In the last verse it talks about the various dwelling places of the different peoples.

Note: I leave for Jordan tomorrow. I'm going to try to post one more chapter before I leave tomorrow morning, but I definitely won't be able to post Tuesday or Wednesday.
