Wrapped Up In Name's

After Noah’s Ark everything starts getting so complicated with the name’s that I had to start over about three times. I think that god secretaries, the people who wrote this, got too deep inside the details because they come and show us literally the whole civilization family tree even if we don’t need it. Genesis ten is a very good example it shows us Noah’s whole family tree, I could be there. “[1] Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.[2] The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.[3] And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.[4] And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.” Genesis 10 Believe it or not this goes on about thirty verses more. The first time read, I missed out on the most important details, I got wrapped up in the name listing of the family tree. The second time around I decided to make a diagram of the family tree, it didn’t quite work. Then I ignored the names completely and it was just fine. People sometimes get so wrapped up in none important details they can’t see clearly what the writer wants’ them to see.
