BIBL 410 : 2024/2025 WEEKLY STUDY QUESTION 4 SOLVED
One Blood/Introduction to Abraham
Answer thoroughly the following questions based on this module/week’s Reading & Study
material:
1. Why are Genesis 10 and 11 “significant” chapters? Genesis 10 and 11 are significant
because they are historically accurate. Their delineation of the family of nations
illustrates the Old Testament universal outlook. (Davis, P 135)
2. T/F— “It would be incorrect to simply identify Hamites with Africans.” Explain your
answer. True, it would be incorrect, however, to simply identify Hamites with
Africans. Canaan is listed as a descendent of Ham out of geographical, not
linguistic, consideration. The language of a people does not always indicate its race.
3. Who is Nimrod? Be thorough. He was the son of Cush, grandson to Ham. We know
very little of this man, whose name is probably related to a verbal form meaning “to
revolt.” Nimrod was described as a “might hunter before the Lord.” Nimrod was
also well known for his building projects. (Davis P. 142)
4. T/F—The Flood only destroyed sinful men, not sinful nature. Explain your answer. True.
The flood only destroyed sinful mean, not sinful nature, a fact of which Genesis
9:20-29 is a grim reminder. When man gives it opportunity, his sinful nature drags
him down in spite of the divine revelation and his spiritual knowledge. (Davis P. 144)
5. What language is often considered the original language of all languages? Until the
nineteenth century the theory was that the consider language is Hebrew it was
practically unquestioned. Some modern interpreters are still inclined to Semitic
language if not Hebrew. (Davis, P. 144)
