These chapters start with the lineage of the children of Noah. They form the different countries and all spoke the same language. Then some idiots had the idea of making a tower that could reach the heavens in order to please God, but He was everything but pleased. He made them speak in different languages so that they couldn't work together to make something like the Tower of Babel ever again.
One of these descendants is Abram who's story is known by everyone, but I'll tell you about it anyways. Abram was a follower of God in a city that followed a different religion. The Lord told Abram to go out of the city and go to a land that He had prepared for him. Abram left and caused both plagues in Egypt because of the Pharaoh's interest in Abram's wife and the destruction of Sodom and Gamora because of a war. Abram the had a son with his wife's maid who was later named Ishmael and became a wild man.
And I thought the Bagavad-Gita had too many extra characters. I think there where at least twenty people you won't hear of again. And most people probably complain of having different languages and were mad at hearing that God made them but I personally like having different languages. The difference makes everything more interesting and the world would be too bland if we all spoke the same language. Also, while reading the story of Abram, I was surprised by how much there is to it. I thought it was only God saying, "Go there." and Abram doing so but there is actually battles and family problems in the way.
