1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,800 Hello, this is Father Paul and I'm glad we're taking this journey together to read the Bible 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,640 in a year. 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,120 Yesterday we read about the great flood and how God saved Noah and his family from it 4 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,900 and all the animals on the earth and how he made a promise with him and his family afterwards. 5 00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:24,000 Today we get to read more about this promise as well as about Noah's children and their 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,000 descendants. 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Let's begin. 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,880 Today's reading is from Genesis 9, 10, 11. 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,360 Chapter 9 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,200 So God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,400 the earth. 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,560 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird 13 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:50,240 of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. 14 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,400 They are given into your hand. 15 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,120 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,080 I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,360 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. 18 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,820 Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning. 19 00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:11,820 From the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. 20 00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:15,680 From the hand of every man's brother I will require the life of man. 21 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,040 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed. 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,360 For in the image of God he made man, and as for you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth 23 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,220 abundantly in the earth and multiply in it. 24 00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:34,760 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, And as for me, behold, I establish 25 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,660 my covenant with you and with your descendants after you, and with every living creature 26 00:01:39,660 --> 00:01:44,720 that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you. 27 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,560 Of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth, thus I establish my covenant 28 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,680 with you. 29 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,500 Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood. 30 00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:58,480 Never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth. 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,480 And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you, and every 32 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,960 living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations. 33 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,100 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between me 34 00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:14,360 and the earth. 35 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,200 It shall be when I bring a cloud over the earth that the rainbow shall be seen in the 36 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,240 cloud, and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature 37 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,060 of all flesh. 38 00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:30,520 The waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 39 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,920 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant 40 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:41,040 between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth. 41 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,140 And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between 42 00:02:45,140 --> 00:02:48,360 me and all flesh that is on the earth. 43 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,880 And now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 44 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,600 And Ham was the father of Canaan. 45 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:02,120 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated. 46 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,480 And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard. 47 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,440 Then he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent. 48 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,960 And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 49 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,020 But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backwards 50 00:03:20,020 --> 00:03:22,280 and covered the nakedness of their father. 51 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,400 Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness. 52 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,980 So Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son had done to him. 53 00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:36,140 And he said, Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants he shall be to his brethren. 54 00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:41,760 And he said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant. 55 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,800 May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant. 56 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:54,480 And Noah lived after the flood 350 years, so all the days of Noah were 950 years, and 57 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,560 he died. 58 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,880 Chapter 10 59 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:03,040 Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 60 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,540 And sons were born to them after the flood. 61 00:04:05,540 --> 00:04:13,440 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Jevan, Tubal, Meshesh, and Tiras. 62 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,840 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Rifath, and Tugarma. 63 00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:25,960 The sons of Jevan were Elishah, Tarshish, Ketim, and Dudanim. 64 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,840 From these, the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone 65 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:35,600 according to his language, according to their families, and their nations. 66 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,520 The sons of Ham were Kush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 67 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:46,560 The sons of Kush were Seba, Havilah, Sapta, Rama, and Saptaka. 68 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,120 And the sons of Rama were Sheba and Didan. 69 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,480 Kush begot Nimrod. 70 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,440 He began to be a mighty one on the earth. 71 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,400 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord, therefore it is said, like Nimrod, the mighty hunter 72 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,200 before the Lord. 73 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:10,240 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erek, Akkad, and Kalne in the land of Shinar. 74 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,120 From that land, he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-eir, Kala, and Rezin, between 75 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440 Nineveh and Kala. 76 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:28,480 Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, and Katlohim, from whom came the 77 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,280 Philistines and Kavtorum. 78 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:37,600 Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite, 79 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:44,760 the Hivite, the Archaite, and the Sinite, the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. 80 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,480 Afterward, the families of the Canaanites were dispersed, and the border of the Canaanites 81 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,480 was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar as far as Gaza. 82 00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:01,480 And as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Adma, and Zebuim as far as Lasha. 83 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,440 These were the sons of Ham according to their families, according to their languages, in 84 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,080 their lands, and in their nations. 85 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,040 And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of 86 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,520 Japheth the elder. 87 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,780 The sons of Shem were Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lod, and Aram. 88 00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:26,320 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 89 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,440 Arphaxad begot Sala, and Sala begot Eber. 90 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:36,280 To Eber were born two sons, the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, 91 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:38,760 and his brother's name was Jokten. 92 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:50,320 Jokten begot Almudad, Shalef, Hazarmaveth, Jera, Hadram, Uzzal, Dikla, Obal, Abimeel, 93 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,800 Sheba, Ophir, Havela, and Jobab. 94 00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:01,120 All these were the sons of Jokten, and their dwelling place was from Misha as you go towards 95 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,000 Sefar, the mountain of the east. 96 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,920 These were the sons of Shem according to their families, according to their languages, in 97 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,920 their lands, according to their nations. 98 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:18,040 These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations. 99 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,000 And from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood. 100 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,320 Chapter 11 Now the whole earth had one language and one 101 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,560 speech, and it came to pass as they journeyed from the east that they found a plain in the 102 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,280 land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 103 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,620 Then they said to one another, come let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly. 104 00:07:41,620 --> 00:07:46,920 They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar, and they said, come let us build 105 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,880 ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens, let us make a name for ourselves, 106 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,680 lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth. 107 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,440 But the Lord came down to see the city, and the tower which the sons of men had built, 108 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,480 and the Lord said, indeed the people are one, and they all have one language, and this is 109 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,220 what they begin to do. 110 00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:15,520 Now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them, come let us go down, and 111 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,160 there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 112 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,600 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased 113 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,200 building the city. 114 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,680 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all 115 00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:38,520 the earth, and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth. 116 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,800 This is the genealogy of Shem. 117 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,640 Shem was 100 years old and begot Arfaxad 2 years after the flood. 118 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,360 After he begot Arfaxad, Shem lived 500 years and begot sons and daughters. 119 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,720 Arfaxad lived 35 years and begot Salah. 120 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,680 After he begot Salah, Arfaxad lived 403 years and begot sons and daughters. 121 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:05,900 Salah lived 30 years and begot Eber. 122 00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:11,760 After he begot Eber, Salah lived 403 years and begot sons and daughters. 123 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,000 Eber lived 34 years and begot Peleg. 124 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,400 After he begot Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and begot sons and daughters. 125 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,880 Peleg lived 30 years and begot Ru. 126 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,840 After he begot Ru, Peleg lived 209 years and begot sons and daughters. 127 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,360 Ru lived 32 years and begot Sirug. 128 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:39,920 After he begot Surug, Ruh lived 207 years and begot sons and daughters. 129 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,640 Surug lived 30 years and begot Nahor. 130 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,240 After he begot Nahor, Surug lived 200 years and begot sons and daughters. 131 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,740 Nahor lived 29 years and begot Terah. 132 00:09:50,740 --> 00:09:55,520 After he begot Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and begot sons and daughters. 133 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:01,400 Now Terah lived 70 years and begot Abram, Nahor and Haran. 134 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,520 This is the genealogy of Terah. 135 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,520 Terah begot Abram, Nahor and Haran. 136 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:12,080 Haran begot Lot and Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of 137 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,080 the Chaldeans. 138 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,640 Then Abram and Nahor took wives. 139 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,120 The name of Abram's wife was Sarai and the name of Nahor's wife, Milca, the daughter 140 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,620 of Haran, the father of Milca and the father of Isca. 141 00:10:25,620 --> 00:10:28,600 But Sarai was barren, she had no child. 142 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,600 Then Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law 143 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,480 Sarai, his son Abram's wife, and they went out from them, from Ur of the Chaldeans to 144 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,640 go to the land of Canaan. 145 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,160 And they came to Haran and dwelt there. 146 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:54,320 So the days of Terah were 205 years and Terah died in Haran. 147 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,940 I hope you enjoyed today's reading as much as I did and I look forward to seeing you 148 00:10:57,940 --> 00:11:00,280 again tomorrow to continue on our journey. 149 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:28,280 God bless you and have a great day.
