About this listen
Who were the 70 nations that would shape all of human history? In this episode, Rabbi Bentzi Epstein reveals the background of the 70 nations mentioned in Genesis Chapter 10. You'll discover why Nimrod, whose very name means "rebellion," became the world's first king and how he convinced an entire generation to join his uprising against the Almighty.
From the shores of ancient Gaza to the great city of Nineveh (yes, the same one Jonah visited), trace the descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth as they spread across the earth. Learn why the Philistines have nothing to do with Palestinians, how the Romans tried to erase Jewish history by renaming Israel, and what made Abraham's mission so revolutionary compared to his teachers Shem and Eber.
This episode sets the stage for next week's Tower of Babel—but first, you need to understand how 70 nations became the blueprint for human civilization, and why one man's rebellion would echo through the ages.
