Subject: Why didn't Noah stop tower of Babel? |
Bible Note: Makarios I have a question, you said,"Therefore, is "the earth divided" referring to the Lord's scattering of all the people, after they had built the Tower of Babel, since everyone spoke the same language? The answer is Yes, both Genesis 10:25 and 1 Chr. 1:19 are referring to the scattering of Gen. 11:9. And that, therefore, means that if the scattering of Gen. 11:9 took place during Peleg's time (his very name means "division"), then Noah would also have been still alive during this time." How do we know it is talking about the scattering of the people or the actual dividing of the continents that we know took place around the time of the flood? Couldn’t this actually be referring to the shifting of the plates of the earth caused by the flood. If it is then once again we do not know the exact time frame of the Tower of Babel and whether Noah was alive. I also agree whether Noah was alive or not there is no indication that he was aware of it. EdB |
