Punished for Babel?

[MikeTheInfidel]

The story is incoherent on several levels. The biggest one is that it says that all of mankind was speaking the same language. This is Genesis 11. One chapter back, in Genesis 10, it talks about the descendants of Noah's sons settling into their own territories, each with their own language.

Did you actually read that, or did you find this notion on one of your atheist sites.

I actually read it, you nitwit, and it you spent 5 minutes picking up the damn book and looking, you'd read it, too.

Genesis 10:5 "By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations."

Genesis 10:20 "These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations."

Genesis 10:31 "These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations."

There is literally only one verse left in Genesis 10 after 10:31. And what does the very first verse of Genesis 11 say? "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech."



What, did they just forget the other languages at that point, just in time for God to make them speak different languages again? Don't make me fucking laugh.
