Peoples
Read Genesis 9.18-27
“.. from them came the people who were scattered over all the earth ..” (Gen.9.19)
The new, postdiluvian world was populated by the sons of Noah. The conduct of those sons shaped the experience of, and the relationships between, the generations of their families, and served to create the emergence of distinct ‘people groups’.

Prayer: Keep me, today, O Lord my God, from disrespectful words and deeds, especially when confronted by the fallibility and failures of those around me.
