Genesis 9:9

So Noah got drunk and was naked in his tent, his sons covered him up without looking at his nakedness (because apparently it’s bad to be naked), and because Ham saw his naked father, Ham’s son, Canaan had to be a servant to his two uncles who got everything (one of which, Ja’pheth, was “enlarged” by God)?


Genesis 10:5

“By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.”

But this is before the tower of Babel… I thought everyone spoke one language then.


Genesis 11:1

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.”

So what did they mean by “divided in their lands; every one after his tongue?”


In Genesis 11, lives begin to be shorter. In Noah’s time they were about 800-900 years on average, and here they’re down to about 400 years. By the end of the chapter, they’re at 100-200 years.


Genesis 15:4

"And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir."

What?? Did I miss some detail of reproduction in middle school sex ed? Because I really don't remember anything about heirs coming out of the bowels of men.
