1 | Different languages already in place? | Gen 10:5 | Makarios | 10553 | ||
So was the writer of Genesis, Moses, here 'foreshadowing' these future events (the confusion of the language)? | ||||||
2 | Different languages already in place? | Gen 10:5 | RWC | 132807 | ||
Hey there, Someone identified as "Restored" just asked a question very similar to yours which has seemingly gone unanswered for more than 3 years. I have offered a possible explanation (message ID 132804) and would appreciate your thoughts. |

Greetings RWC, I apologize for my delay.. In post # 132804, you wrote: "That is an excellent question, or at least I think so since I have wondered the same thing myself many times. The best answer that I have come up with (and I don't pretent to be any kind of authority!) is that 10:5 is not saying that people were already dividing into language groups prior to 11:1, but rather that this particular group (the sons of Japheth as per 10:2) were the ones who became the coastland peoples (NKJV) and after the events of Gen. 11:1-9 they were divided further into their own language groups. Note that 10:5 begins with "From these...." Thank you for your thoughts and for noticing my similar post! Your answer is as good as any that I have heard in regards to this little quandary in Genesis, and it seems that those "topical" sentences are best viewed in the sense of foreshadowing rather than anything else. Thank you! Makarios |
