Why is there another genealogy after The Tower of Babel?

Question

there was one in Genesis 10 right before 11 so why is there another one,or what is it suppoesed to show?

Answer 1

The one in Chapter 10 simply begins at an earlier time, by starting with Noah, which includes all of his sons. The one in chapter 11 begins with Shem (which doesn't include Noah).
In other words, one is showing this particular lineage beginning with Noah, and the other is showing a continuation of the same lineage beginning with Shem.
Both of these belong to an overall lineage which is of significant importance and the overall lineage can be found in "Luke", beginning at Luke, Chapter 3, verse 23.....a lineage beginning with Adam and continuing all the way to Jesus.
You should note that this is a lineage of direct blood descendency.
The significance of these lineage's is that this was/is the "true" Holy Order.
There is more to the story, but hope this helps.

Answer 2

There were three sons of Noah; Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

The descendants of Japheth are in Genesis 10:2-5.
These became the white skinned race of peoples.

The descendants of Ham are in Genesis 10:6-20.
These became the pigmented skinned races of peoples.

The descendants of Shem are in Genesis 10:21-31.
These became the Israelites and through a half brother the Arabs.

Those were the families of the sons of Noah.

However in these listings there is no listing of the ages of the fathers when they begat their sons, or when they died as does exist in Genesis 5, for the generations from Adam to Noah. So in Genesis 11, it follows the sons of Shem with ages so that we can continue tracing the genealogy of Christ by actual years from Shem to Abram who is later renamed Abraham.

Then again in Genesis 16 we find out how old Abram was when he had Ishmael, and in Genesis 17 we find out how old Abram was when he had Isaac.

Answer 3

ALL OF THE HUMAN RACES CAME FROM THESE THREE SONS OF NOAH.
(SHEM) (HAM) (Japheth)

This is the history of Shem NOAH SON.

Shem was a hundred years old when he became father to Ar?pach´shad Biblical and other historical evidence indicates that Shem was thus the progenitor of the Semitic peoples: the Elamites, the Assyrians, the early Chaldeans, the Hebrews, the Aramaeans (or Syrians), various Arabian tribes, and perhaps the Lydians of Asia Minor. This would mean that the population descended from Shem was concentrated principally in the southwestern corner of the Asiatic continent, extending throughout most of the Fertile Crescent and occupying a considerable portion of the Arabian Peninsula.

THE HISTORY OF HAM NOAH SON
Ham was the father of four sons, Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. (Ge 10:6; 1Ch 1:8) The Ethiopians, Egyptians, some Arabian and African tribes, and the Canaanites descended from these sons. While it is claimed that some of the Hamitic tribes and nations listed in Genesis chapter 10 spoke a Semitic language, this does not weigh against their being of Hamitic descent or their having originally spoken a Hamitic tongue. Many peoples adopted the language of their conquerors, of other peoples with whom they associated, or of the land to which they migrated.

THE HISTORY OF JAPHETH NOAH SON
(Ja´pheth) [May He Grant Ample Space].
A son of Noah; brother of Shem and of Ham.

*** it-1 p. 1255 Japheth ***

Japheth and his wife were among the eight occupants of the ark, thereby surviving the Flood. (Ge 7:13; 1Pe 3:20) Remaining childless until after the Flood, they thereafter produced seven sons: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. (Ge 10:1, 2; 1Ch 1:5) These sons and also some grandsons are the ones from whom “the population of the isles of the nations [“coastland peoples,” RS] was spread about in their lands, each according to its tongue, according to their families, by their nations.” (Ge 10:3-5; 1Ch 1:6, 7) Historically, Japheth was the progenitor of the Aryan or Indo-European (Indo-Germanic) branch of the human family. The names of his sons and grandsons are found in ancient historical texts as relating to peoples and tribes residing mainly to the N and W of the Fertile Crescent. They appear to have spread from the Caucasus eastward into Central Asia and westward through Asia Minor to the islands and coastlands of Europe and perhaps all the way to Spain. Arabian traditions claim that one of Japheth’s sons was also the progenitor of the Chinese peoples

Answer 4

The one in Gen. 10 shows the genealogy of all three of Noah's sons, the one in Gen. 11 just shows Shem's genealogy. You will also notice that the genealogy in 10 stops at Peleg, and then gives the genealogy of his brother, Joktan. The one in 11 shows Peleg's genealogy all the way to Abram.

Answer 5

Good catch...actually..believe it or not, chapter 11 should come before chapter 10
YES, it was moved,,why?..who knows.
