📖 Genesis 11

Genesis 11 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Eber lived four hundred thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and became the father of more sons and daughters.” Genesis 11 opens with these words: “The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.” The line to keep is Genesis 11:5: “Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.” Carry the word “down” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Genesis 11:5: “Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Genesis 11? Then try this: Read “Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
