F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 11:10-32

the Generations until Abram Genesis 11:10-32 The inwardness of the movement of Terah’s clan from Ur is given in Acts 7:3 . Apparently his father was unwilling for Abram to go alone on his far-pilgrimage, and so the whole family moved along the valley of the Euphrates to the famous ford of Haran. There was no other practicable way by which travelers could strike the route for Canaan. But Terah never advanced beyond that point; and it was only when his father was dead that Abram resumed his... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 11:1-32

In this chapter we have the account of a human movement against dispersion. The movement was one of rebellion and was frustrated by divine interposition. The divine intention was the covering of the whole earth. The human action was in opposition to that, as men said, "Lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." This rebellious purpose was frustrated by the confusion of tongues. Necessarily belief in this story demands belief in the possibility of God's direct intervention... read more

Genesis 11:27-Jonah : . The Sons of Terah.— Derived from P and J. Genesis 11:27 and Genesis 11:31 f. are clearly from P, Genesis 11:28-Amos : probably from J (there are phraseological grounds), and Genesis 22:20 (J) refers to Genesis 11:29. Genesis 11:28 . Ur of the Chaldees: Heb. Ur Kasdim, is generally identified with Uru, one of the most ancient cities of Babylonia, where the moon-god was worshipped, now Mugheir. The Chaldees (Ass.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 11:27-32

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 11:28. Ur of the Chaldees] “Ur in Heb. means light, and was probably so called from the Persian idolatry of fire worship, prevalent among this people. Abram was called by God out of this region of idolaters, to be a follower of the true God” (Jacobus).—Genesis 11:29. The father of Iscah] This name is nowhere else mentioned. Jewish traditions consider it as identical with Sarai, one name having been borne before she left Chaldea, the other afterwards. Alford thinks that... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 11:1-32

Chapter 11Now in chapter eleven.The whole earth was of one language, and one speech ( Genesis 11:1 ).Probably Hebrew because in the earlier record of the book of Genesis, the names of the people were Hebrew names that have Hebrew meanings. And so the original language was perhaps the Hebrew language itself. "The whole earth was of one language, one speech."And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 11:1-32

Genesis 11:1. One language or lip. These words are to be literally understood, because it is added, God confounded their language. There has been a long and unavailing dispute whether the Chaldaic, the Hebrew, or the Arabic was the most ancient language. But since the oriental languages were studied, this subject has been discussed with more success. Epiphanius, a bishop of the fourth age, wrote in five languages, and he gives the name of dialects, not distinct languages, to the families... read more

The history is brief, but it may be considered as a condensed outline of Abraham’s life.... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 11:32

Gen 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. Ver. 32. Terah died in Haran. ] And so fell short of the earthly, but not of the heavenly Canaan; to the which, there is as ready a way and as speedy a passage, from one place, as from another. But as the body, when once glorified, shall soon be wheresoever the soul will: so soon shall be the soul where God wills, when once delivered. read more
