The Table of Nations: The Divine Census Before the Rescue
Genesis 10:1-32
Genesis 10 is the divine census taken before the rescue operation begins. The Table lists exactly 70 nations (14 Japheth + 30 Ham + 26 Shem) — the same 70 Deuteronomy 32:8 places under angelic stewardship (DSS bene Elohim), the same four-noun vocabulary (mishpachah + lashon + eretz + goy) Revelation 5:9 and 7:9 use for the eschatological gathering before the Lamb, and the same Shinar that opens here (Gen 10:10) where wickedness returns home in Zechariah 5:11. The article walks the seventy names verbatim, traces the gibbor link from Nephilim to Nimrod, and shows Acts 2 reversing Gen 10's lashon dispersion rather than Gen 11's saphah confusion.
