In Genesis 11, we address an apparent contradiction. The Bible does not contradict itself but there are a few apparent contradictions and we will deal with those as we encounter them. Then after a short interruption to describe what happened at the Tower of Babel, we go right back into the genealogy where we left off in chapter 10. I apologize in advance… maybe, if you haven’t played the audio yet… I said begat a couple of times and switched back and forth between begat and fathered. Some of us grew up with chapters full of begats before learning there were modern translations. To be fair, 40 or 50 years ago there were not nearly as many translations in English as there are today.

Bible Survey: Tower of Babel
I haven’t posted to Bible Survey in over a month. I thought it would take a while to get through the Bible, at this rate it will take forever and ever. I hope there’s Internet access in Heaven.
The Tower of Babel story creates more questions for some than it answers. Is the story literal, or just of way of simplifying things? Why does Genesis 10 talk about nations and languages, and then chp. 11 says that all people were of one language? Can we prove the Bible is true? Join me at Bible Survey to explore these and other and issues.
