Scattered Abroad

Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
(Genesis 11:7-9) NKJV

This is the genealogy of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood. After he begot Arphaxad, Shem lived five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
(Genesis 11:10-11) NKJV

A paradigm is the set of assumptions that you make about the world and what you want to believe about it. Within it evidence is evaluated, sorted, and incorporated into the narrative that you’ve chosen.
