Genesis 10:1-32
REVIEW- Time of Moses looking BACK

10 stands absolutely alone in ancient literature, without a remote parallel,
even among the Greeks, where we find the closest approach to a distribution of
peoples in genealogical framework....The Table of Nations remains an
astonishingly accurate document.”

“Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many
generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; Your elders, and they will
tell you: When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, When He
separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the
number of the children of Israel.” Deut 32:7-8
“And He has made from one blood every nation of men to
dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times
and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord.” Acts 17:26-27
