Bible Commentary

Genesis 9:19

Every human being alive today traces their ancestry to Noah's three sons. This verse emphasizes the unity of the human race — we are all one family, all descended from the same source.

Memory phrase: All people come from one family.

Talk about it: If all people on earth came from Noah's three sons, what does that mean about how we should treat each other?

Prayer: God, help me to see all people as family — because we all come from You.
