2. Review the assignment from July 3, 2019.
3. Total number of nations descending from the sons of Noah. Genesis 10 is often labeled the "Table of Nations."
Shem- 26
Ham- 30
Japheth 14
Total 70
Japheth:
Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek and Tiras. Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah. Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites and the Rodanites.
Ham:
Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan. Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteka. Sheba and Dedan. Nimrod, Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, Pathrusites, Kasluhites and Caphtorites. Sidon, Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites.
Shem:
Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram. Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshek. Shelah, Eber. Peleg, Joktan. Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah and Jobab.
70 Nations came from these 70 offspring. They populated the earth. Every current nation can be traced back to one of these 70.4. With the number 70 in mind, read:
Exodus 1:5
Numbers 11:16-25
Luke 10:1, 17
5. Abraham will soon become of major importance. What nation did he descend from?
Luke 3:34-36
As you read through this list, remember the importance of the fact that Holy Spirit chose to emphasize some of these descendants by not just listing their name but by adding "more information" concerning them. As you look at this lineage (and compare it with Genesis 10) do you see anything of unique significance with any of them?
6. We'll see what Miss Martha has for us in terms of "colors in the Bible."
