The Table of Nations in Genesis 10. The tenth chapter of Genesis contains the most ancient and valuable account of the distribution of races. The table is arranged on a, genealogical basis and in most instances gives the names of the founders of nations. All the people of the earth, save Noah and his family, had been destroyed by the flood. For nearly a hundred years Noah’s family prospered and increased. Then the spirit of migration took possession of them, and, fearing they might be scattered, they built the tower of Babel; but God caused the confusion of tongues and the people were distributed over the face of the earth (Genesis II : 1-9). The names of Noah’s three sons were Japheth, Ham and Shem. These sons represent the three great races of the world.
