Genesis 10:7
“And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 10Meaning
Cush's and Raamah's descendants are listed, including Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, Sabtecha, Sheba, and Dedan. The verse advances the chapter's ordered account of post-flood peoples.
Read carefully
This verse is one link in the Table of Nations, where personal names can represent ancestors, clans, or peoples within the chapter's ancient genealogical framework.
Reflection
Genesis 10 presents human diversity as developing within one post-flood human family, while preserving distinct peoples, places, and lines of descent.
