Genesis 10:1
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
The verse opens a trustworthy record of how the nations began and of the history of the human race, free from human pride and bias. It belongs to the oldest and most comprehensive history possessed by humanity. It comes directly from the source of eternal truth, kept pure through the ages by a divine hand. It sheds light on the remote past that human research is unable to penetrate. It displays the power that laid the foundations of the earth and spread out the heavens.
