Chapter 10 features what many call “The Table of Nations,” which lays out Biblical geography and cultural dispersion across the Scriptural authors’ known world. There is a lot packed away in this chapter thanks to the brilliance of the Scriptural Hebrew language and the intelligence of the authors. We will put in the work to introduce these names in detail because when we push our effort this way, we will have a much better idea when the names of these nations come up again later in scripture. These seemingly alien words play an important role in the total story being told and if we sit back and gloss over them because it’s too hard to understand them then they will be extremely hard to keep track of as we navigate the Old Testament.
