Welcome to the bonus episode here on the Bible Book Club.

Since we have finished the book of Genesis, we thought we would take some questions from some of you.

And so here are some of those questions and some of the answers that we came up with.

And I'm going to preface this by saying, you guys are really deep thinkers and we are not Bible scholars.

So some of this stuff, we had to look up.

We didn't know ourselves.

They were good questions, though.

They were.

So question number one.

Question number one is interesting.

And I had to really think about it. It said this, Genesis 10, in Genesis 10, 5, each nation has its own language. And then in Chapter 11, it says they all had one language. Remember, Chapter 11 is where they started building the Tower of Babel. And the chapter opened saying that.

They all had one language, and this was causing a problem because they were becoming too,

feeling too great about themselves about that.

So really, when I looked into this, it was kind of simple.

Remember, Moses is writing this, and at times he kind of steps back.

And in this case, chapter nine was a kind of narrative

history and chapter 11 is a narrative history and in chapter 10 he kind of steps back and kind of

gives an overview of what happened and that's why it's kind of inserted there at the wrong place

it's saying they all had one

language, which really happened after chapter 11. But he put it in there because he was giving this

big overview, knowing the history. He wrote it much later. He knew the history. And so he didn't,

he wasn't, this is not his diary. It's not chronological. He's not walking through and marking down each day. He's kind of telling this whole history he knew and he makes inserts. And chapter 10 was an insert. It's like a literary trick that they use like in a history book when they say, here's the overview of what happened. And now I'm going to go back and talk about the war. Right. Or I'm going to give you the details of the dates.
