Genesis 11 brings us into the heart of Genesis – God’s choosing from the peoples of the earth one nation as His own – Israel. We will once more take up the genealogy of Shem, but first we find the famous story of the Tower of Babel.
In this study, we examine the disturbing story of Noah’s curse upon his own grandson Canaan, and then look at the genealogy found in Genesis 10 which has been called “The Table of Nations.”
This genealogy lists the descendants of Noah’s sons Shem, Japheth, and Ham along with the meanings of their names. The line from Noah through Shem to Jesus is shown in red. Name meanings are shown in italics.
We examine the details of the flood, and God’s institution of the Noahic covenant afterward.
