The list of nations here in Genesis 10 is interesting as many of them will be seen again in the rest of the Bible. The ones that stand out to me are the ones Nimrod was responsible for creating. Three in particular Bablyon, Ninivah, and Assyria. These three will be set in opposition to God and Israel throughout the rest of the Old Testament. This ties into the idea that Nimrod was in opposition to God and that legacy continued for generations. A reminder that our actions have consequences greater than we may imagine and longer than we might believe.
