The Table of Nations: Genesis Chapter 10
The 70 Post-Flood Families and the Foundations of Human Geography
Genesis 10, famously known as the Table of Nations, provides the historic ethnological record of the seventy post-flood families descending from Noah's three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. It forms the geographical bridge between the Ark on Mount Ararat and the dispersion at the Tower of Babel.
The biblical declaration in Acts 17:26 affirms that God "made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth." The Table of Nations refutes racial superiority by demonstrating that all humanity shares common parentage in Noah and Adam, sharing equal dignity under God's sovereign covenant.
