Genesis Chapter 10: The Descendants of Noah, and the Curse on Canaan

In this episode, we read portions of Genesis chapter 10 from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. We highlight how racist commentaries of this passage have been used to rationalize the injustice of slavery. We also highlight how commentaries have used similar arguments to justify the subjugation of women. By looking carefully at this passage, we demonstrate that Genesis chapter 10 does not condone either racism or slavery. God loves every human being equally and impartially, and followers of Jesus Christ are called to do the same.
