章节纲目
【人的建造和神的反應】Tower of Babel
一、人的言語原是一樣的(1節) one language and a common speech
二、人聯合起來建造城和塔(2~4節) jointly build a city with a tower
三、神變亂人的言語，使人分散在全地上(5~9節) confuse their language and scattered them
【由閃到亞伯蘭的家譜】from Shem to Abram/the Decendants of Shem
一、從閃到法勒共有五代(10~17節) from Shem to Peleg five generations
二、從拉吳到亞伯蘭共有五代(18~26節) form Reu to Abram five generations
【他拉帶亞伯蘭出吾珥】Terah took Abram out from Ur/the Descendants of Terah
一、父家親屬簡介(27~30節) Abram’s family
二、出吾珥，停在哈蘭(31~32節) out from Ur and settled in Harran
巴别塔发生的时间推断：Between the flood and Babel: 101 years; 建立巴別的事是在閃的第五代子孫時發生的。
地点：示拿（巴比伦城）
分析：建塔目的（傳揚人的名make a name, not to be scattered不要分散）
Scatter v. - throw in various random directions.
People
“Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly
Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.
God
The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
這些人想要傳揚自己的名。這是神在其他經文認可的渴望，祂亦曾應許要使亞伯拉罕和大衛的名為大。留後是傳名的方法之一。想要傳揚自己的名本身雖然沒有邪惡或犯罪之處，我們仍當了解這個慾望或會令人著魔，而至採取不正當手段。
同樣，這些人不願意分散也是合理的。神雖然將生養眾多，甚至能夠遍滿了地的高貴能力賜給他們，卻沒有勒令他們分散。生養眾多而非分散，才是達成遍滿地面的方法。經濟環境能夠逼使任何一群人分散，這也是他們進行都市化的原因。神分散他們，不是因為不要他們同在一起，而是因為他們合力作惡，正如我們也會將胡鬧的孩子分開一樣。
疑问：神变乱人的口音，是神怕了他们吗？
神將他們的口音變亂了，不讓他們停留在頂撞神的心思裏，免得神在那個時候將他們毀滅了。這是神的好意，但是很多人不領會這點，以為神怕了他們，所以才這樣作。
疑问： In Gen 11, what was sinful about building the Tower of Babel?
A: It was not the construction of a building, but the arrogant motivation of (foolishly) thinking they could ascend to Heaven on their own. At the core of much of idolatry is the belief that people should be religious however they want, in "their own way", instead of seeking the One True God. God’s reaction does not seem to be one of punishment but rather preventing them from additional evil. Wise parents do not want their children to totally ignore the law and their own commands, and God does not want people, whom He created, to do that either.
难点：人名和关系
句式
account of Shem’s family line. 闪的后代
When Arphaxad had lived 35 years, he became the father of Shelah. 13 And after he became the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
沟通：态度和动机的重要性
Make your name?? Or Glorify God’s name?
Pride
Do we need God?
Take home message结语
The Tower of Babel represents the pride of mankind wanting to reach the heavens and be their own gods. It represents the unification of all people in error. We develop a pattern of self-sufficiency that left out God. It is a pattern that plague us to this day. We need God!
上面的图包括了创世记第十章和第十一章讲述的挪亚后代图。可能有人问， 如果我们相信创世记中所有人类都被洪水所灭，只剩挪亚家8口人，那么中国人是上图哪个儿子的后代？你知道有哪些说法？下面的几种说法仅供参考
1). Ham: Sinite 说法一：含的后代
All peoples descended from Adam, then Noah through the Tower of Babel incident.
http://www.icr.org/article/how-can-chinese-dynasties-extend-back-many-thousan/ (from Ham->sinite)
https://bible.org/question/out-which-noah%E2%80%99s-three-sons-did-chinese-race-come (from Ham-->Sinite)
Gen10:17 Hivites, Arkites, Sinites,
The Biblical mention of a people in the Far East named “Sinim” (Isaiah 49:12), together with references in ancient secular histories to people in the Far East called “Sinae,” at least suggests the possibility that some of Sin’s descendants migrated eastward, while others went south into the land of Canaan. It is significant that the Chinese people have always been identified by the prefix “Sino-” (e.g., Sino-Japanese War; Sinology, the study of Chinese history). The name “Sin” is frequently encountered in Chinese names in the form “Siang” or its equivalent.
The evidence is tenuous but, of all the names in the Table of Nations, it does seem that two sons of Canaan, Heth (Hittites = Khittae = Cathay) and Sin (Sinites = Sinim = China), are the most likely to have become ancestors of the Oriental peoples. Since it seems reasonable that divine inspiration would include in such a table information concerning the ancestry of all the major streams of human development, it is reasonable to conclude that the Mongoloid peoples (and therefore also the American Indians) have come mostly from the Hamitic line.
http://www.eifiles.cn/oo-en.htm (from Shen->Joktan)
According to the Biblical record, Shem is the original forefather of both the West Asian people and East Asian people. In the Genesis account, the ancestry of all the East Asian people can be traced to Shem.
Shem means honourable name, which fits well with East Asian cultural values. In the Hebrew Bible, God is referred to as ‘The Honourable Name’ (HA-SHÈM), thus associating God with the people of Shem. In Genesis 10:21, Shem is called “the father of all the children of Eber,” meaning the Hebrew people. The word Hebrew means ‘of Eber,’ or ‘descended from Eber.’ Gen. 10:25,
To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg,
for in his days the earth was divided,
and his brother’s name was Joktan.
The Hebrew race has therefore descended from Eber in two branches: Peleg and Joktan. The name Peleg means division, (indicating the division of mankind in Babylon, Gen. 11:7-9), and the name Joktan means diminished, (indicating the diminished lifespan of mankind at that time).
Joktan’s clan must have been the first to scout the ancient Silk Road that later became the main road of migration into east Asia. Mesha (the departure point) was the start of the Silk Road. The Silk Road's ancient start was near the city of Mashhad in north-eastern Iran. The Iranian name Mashhad has its origin from the ancient Hebrew name Mesha.
3) Japheth: Magog 雅弗后代：玛各支派
3) Japheth: Magog
(from Japheth,Magog, the second son of Japheth mentioned in Genesis 10:2., The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras.
Japheth->Magog
https://www.thetrumpet.com/article/7583.24.129.0/asia/china/is-china-in-the-bible
at any rate, the Chinese and all the minority groups living in China are of the Mongoloid race, which stems from Noah’s son Japheth. Soon after the dispersion at the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:8), Japheth’s descendants migrated through Central Asia to the lands they occupy now.
The Ezekiel 38:2 prophecy demonstrates this as well, listing numerous nations and peoples associated with or dwelling “in the land of Magog.” The people who most prominently settled this land are typically identified as Mongolic and Turkic. The name Mongol is even derived from the name Magog.
ISA 23:1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. The descendants of Javan’s son Kittim came to Asia some time after many of their cousins had already settled there. After their migration through Central Asia, the Kittim made their appearance in modern-day northern China and Mongolia under the name Khitan in the fourth century a.d. In the 10th century, the Khitan people managed to create a dynasty that subjugated the peoples, including the Chinese, in modern-day northern China. Their territory stretched from what is now Korea to eastern Kazakhstan, including Beijing, the seat of government in China today.
4) Mixed 混合说法
Ham->Cush, from Ham-->Cush,
Shun舜 is Nimrod, the Chinese Han people were ruled first by a Japhetic descendant associated with Magog—possibly his son, though the Bible doesn’t say specifically. During Nimrod’s rebellion at the Tower of Babel, the Chinese were ruled by Nimrod. After his reign, when God intervened and changed the languages, government over the Chinese returned to the Japhetic line, under Yu’s rule. These people then migrated north and east to modern-day China, setting up their capital in the North China Plain at the end of the third millennium B.C.
During Yaou’s lifetime a new leader, Shun, came to power. According to another ancient Chinese manuscript, The Bamboo Annals, Shun舜is described as having a “black body.” He was obviously not Chinese, and his mother was called “the queen mother of the west,” indicating him as a foreigner. The Shoo King gives the name of Shun’s father as Koo-sow.
According to Dr. Herman Hoeh’s Compendium of World History, this Shun 舜 was none other than the Nimrod宁录 of the Bible. Therefore Koo-sow, which can also be spelled Kusou, is Nimrod’s father Cush古实! And the “queen mother of the west” can only be Semiramis.
Chinese and future中国人和未来
No matter which foreign invader occupied the throne, China always remained Chinese.
One remarkable demonstration of the resilience of their society and culture was the survival, amid all the invasions, of the Chinese language—a feat few other languages have managed.
All the mixing and migrating of different peoples has made it impossible to characterize what a pure ethnic Han is. Nevertheless, prophetically speaking, China refers to all the people of China, not just the Han ethnic group. And at any rate, the Chinese and all the minority groups living in China are of the Mongoloid race, which stems from Noah’s son Japheth.

Prophecy 预言
China is one of those kings of the east
“the king of the north,” a German-led European power,
“the king of the south,” a radical Islamic power led by Iran (these prophetic identities are explained in our booklets Germany and the Holy Roman)
