    In Genesis chapter 10, what is the importance of the bible listing all these sons and daughters? So many sons and daughters were listed and I am wondering why?

    I think the reason for this is found in the last verse 32: "These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood."

    From Noah & his sons, all the Earth was repopulated after the Flood, which wiped out everyone. Even though most of those names might not mean much to us, it was important to Israel in understanding their roots & to historians who would be able to follow the generations which came from those names.
