Genesis 10|Nations Descended from Noah
The wickedness of man after the fall had increased greatly and the intentions of man’s heart was evil continually and God determined to apply his justice. The earth was utterly destroyed save for Noah’s family and the select creatures of the earth. God preserved Noah’s family for he “shut him in” once the flood roared. They were kept in perfect safety after which the Lord blessed them that they might “be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth,”( Chp 9:1).
