An Application
Today there are about 700 languages in the world, and linguists (those who study language) can trace them back to about 70 base languages. There were about 70 family groups described later in Genesis chapter 11. God cares about family. He also cares that we take Him seriously. When He said to fill the earth but the people said "let's get together and make a name for ourselves," they were being very disrespectful.
Connect the Dots
There's much to learn from the first 11 chapters of the Bible. My personal summary is
Real History
. Jesus criticized the people of His day when they didn't take Moses's writings seriously enough in JN 5:46-47. May we take this seriously and give God reason to speak to us like in the parable: MT 25:21. (God will speak to Jehu this way in 2KI 10:30.) That reason will be our explicit obedience to God's word, not just because we try to be "good" people (LK 6:46).
