1 | One Language | Gen 10:5 | Restored | 132803 | ||
In Genesis 11:1-9 speaks about the Tower of Babel and the whole earth being of one language. Now if you look back at chapter 10:5 it speaks about the people being separated and everyone to his on language. Maybe someone can help me understand this. |

2 | One Language | Gen 10:5 | RWC | 132804 | ||
Hi there, 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...." I hope that is helpful. If someone has a better answer, I would be grateful to hear it. |
