Genesis chapter 10, verse 5.

From these, the coastland peoples spread in their lands,

each with his own language, by their clans, in their nations.

So Genesis chapter 10 is really a list of all kinds of people. It's names and their

descendants, generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And you see this picture, even in the

verse that we just read, of peoples, languages, clans, nations,

which we'll see more in Genesis chapter 11, but we'll really see throughout the rest of the

Bible, this picture of different people groups, different languages, different clans, different

nations. And so from the very beginning here in the Bible,

pretty close to the beginning, we're seeing this picture of a diversity of peoples in the world.

And again, we'll see more in Genesis chapter 11 about why that is. But we obviously see this

in the world around us today, not just around the world,

in most of the places where we live. Like we see all kinds of different people groups. We hear

different languages. We meet neighbors from different nations and even not just geopolitical nations like 200 or so

united nations today no we also see like different national groups clans people groups in

those nations so so today i was praying for the bondondo Paraja people in India. So you think about

India, there are all kinds of different people groups across India. And the Bondo Paraja people

basically have a mixture of traditional faith and Hinduism.

So they have a supreme deity.

They worship, and yet they worship many other Hindu deities.

And they participate in different ceremonies.
