This passage is referred to as the Table of Nations. Just more genealogy stuff, this one tracing lines of descent from all three of Noah's sons to the clans and nations of the world at the time. No numbers to deal with here. One thing worth mentioning is that this passage mentions a mighty warrior and hunter by the name of Nimrod. Apparently, he's supposed to have been a very popular figure who built cities and all that. It doesn't seem like he's mentioned much elsewhere, though. I'm guessing an earlier and more elaborate account of Nimrod was written down on some ancient tablet that's now lost forever ... or it was a popular oral tradition at the time, but never got penned down.
One study Bible I have says that Nimrod may be another name for Sargon I. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargon_I
