Gen 10 Table of Nations (ethnological table)
It has been argued that Genesis 10 is not a literal passage, but a figurative one which issues a list of ~ 70 nations. Is there any valid or reputable dispute to this, or is this a consensus?
I have heard someone state what the names translate into English as, and what countries these would represent, however I would like to do my own bit of research to verify a source other than someone else's word. My The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha has a list of maps which have the actual names for these countres (Javan, Tubal, and Cush are available for example), however I guess I'm looking for translations of the terms, or something to corroborate the Hebrew. I know someone may say that the map should be sufficient. I'm ideally looking for something to present as a visual display to someone. |
