- Genesis 10:5
From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.
Commentary on Genesis 10:51 voice
Isles of the Gentiles - Europe, of which this is allowed to be a general epithet. Calmet supposes that it comprehends all those countries to which the Hebrews were obliged to go by sea, such as Spain, Gaul, Italy, Greece, and Asia Minor. Every one after his tongue - This refers to the time posterior to the confusion of tongues and dispersion from Babel.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Genesis 10:20
These are the sons of Ham according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.
Commentary on Genesis 10:202 voices
These are the sons of Ham,.... His sons and grandsons, which some reckon to be thirty, others thirty one, if the Philistines are taken in: after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations: families of the same language joined together and dwelt in the same country; see Gill on Gen 10:5 all Africa and a considerable part of Asia were possessed by the four sons of Ham and their posterity; Mizraim had Egypt, and Phut all the rest of Africa; and Cush and Canaan had a large portion in Asia.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
These are the sons of Ham after their families - No doubt all these were well known in the days of Moses, and for a long time after; but at this distance, when it is considered that the political state of the world has been undergoing almost incessant revolutions through all the intermediate portions of time, the impossibility of fixing their residences or marking their descendants must be evident, as both the names of the people and the places of their residences have been changed beyond the possibility of being recognized.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Genesis 11:1–9
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
- Proverbs 10:8
A wise heart will receive commandments, but foolish lips will come to ruin.
Commentary on Proverbs 10:82 voices
The wise in heart will receive commandments,.... Such who have true wisdom in the hidden part of the heart, of which the fear of the Lord is the beginning: these will not only, as good subjects, honour their king, and attend to his lawful commands; and, as dutiful children, regard those of their parents; and, as faithful servants, hearken to those of their masters; but, as such that fear the Lord, will receive and cheerfully obey the commandments of God and Christ; but a prating fool shall fall; like Diotrephes, that prated against the Apostle John and other saints.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
A prating fool shall fall - This clause is repeated in the tenth verse. The wise man will receive the commandment: but the shallow blabbing fool shall be cast down. See Pro 10:10.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, sin is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise.
Commentary on Proverbs 10:191 voice
The virtue of silence, especially in church, is very great. Let no sentence of the divine lessons escape you. If you give ear, restrain your voice, utter no word with your lips which you would wish to bring back, but let your boldness to speak be sparing. For in truth in much speaking there is abundance of sin. To the murderer it was said, "You have sinned, be silent," that he might not sin more; but to the virgin it must be said, "Be silent lest you sin."
Ambrose of Milan· Concerning Virginity 3.3.11Patristic
- Proverbs 17:27
A man of knowledge restrains his words, and a man of understanding maintains a calm spirit.
Commentary on Proverbs 17:272 voices
They said of Agatho that for three years he kept a stone in his mouth in order to teach himself silence.
Desert Fathers· The Desert Fathers, Sayings of the Early Christian MonksPatristic
He asks of wisdom, who seeks to know what is the will of God. And he will show himself prudent who is sparing of his words on that which he has come to learn. If one inquires about wisdom, desiring to learn something about wisdom, while another asks nothing of wisdom, as not only wishing to learn nothing about wisdom himself, but even keeping back his neighbours from so doing, the former certainly is deemed to be more prudent than the latter.

- Proverbs 21:23
He who guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from distress.
Commentary on Proverbs 21:231 voice
Pambo said to Antony, 'What shall I do?' Antony said, 'Do not trust in your own righteousness. Do not go on sorrowing over a deed that is past. Keep your tongue and your belly under control.'
Desert Fathers· The Desert Fathers, Sayings of the Early Christian MonksPatristic
- Proverbs 29:20
Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Commentary on Proverbs 29:201 voice
In all things be "quick to listen and slow to speak" lest the remark of Solomon be fulfilled in you: "If you see a man too ready of speech, know that a fool has more hope than he." And never dare to teach someone what you have not practiced yourself.
John Cassian· CONFERENCE 14:9Patristic
- Ecclesiastes 3:7
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
Commentary on Ecclesiastes 3:72 voices
"A time for silence and a time for speaking." I think that the Pythagoreans, whose discipline is to remain silent for five years and afterwards to speak to learned men, took the origin of their decree from this. Let us learn therefore and so remain silent first, so that afterwards we open our mouths only to speak. Let us be silent for a set period and depend on the utterances of our teacher. Nothing seems right to us unless we learn that after much silence we are made into teachers by our pupils.
Jerome· Commentary on EcclesiastesPatristic
A time to rend, and a time to sew,.... To rend garments, in case of blasphemy, and in times of mourning and fasting, and then to sew them up when they are over; see Isa 37:1; This the Jews apply to the rending of the ten tribes from Rehoboam, signified by the rending of Jeroboam's garment, 1Ki 11:30; the sewing up or uniting of which is foretold, Eze 37:

- Isaiah 66:18
“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.
- Acts 2:1–18
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Commentary on Acts 2:1–181 voice
And when the day of Pentecost - The word “Pentecost” is a Greek word signifying the 50th part of a thing, or the 50th in order.

- Acts 2:33
Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
Commentary on Acts 2:331 voice
"And He had in His right hand seven stars." He said that in His right hand He had seven stars, because the Holy Spirit of sevenfold agency was given into His power by the Father. As Peter exclaimed to the Jews: "Being at the right hand of God exalted, He hath shed forth this Spirit received from the Father, which ye both see and hear." Moreover, John the Baptist had also anticipated this, by saying to his disciples: "For God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto Him.

- Acts 10:46
For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,
Commentary on Acts 10:462 voices
At the beginning of the preaching, when the apostles announced the gospel, those who received holy baptism both spoke with tongues and prophesied in order to prove that they had received the Holy Spirit. When unbelief was at its climax, then, as was necessary, the …
Severus of Antioch· CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 10.44Patristic
For they heard them speak with tongues,.... With divers tongues, which they had never learned, and before did not understand: and magnify God; they spoke of the wonderful works of God in these languages, as the apostles did at Pentecost, Act 2:11 they spoke greatly in the praise of God, and gave thanks for his rich grace and mercy bestowed on them: then answered Peter; as follows.

- Acts 19:6
And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
- 1 Corinthians 12:10
to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 12:102 voices
According to Paul, prophecy is not only through the Father and the Son but also through the Holy Spirit. On this account the office is one, the grace is one.
Ambrose of Milan· On the Holy Spirit 2.13.143Patristic
To another the working of miracles,.... Or "powers": mighty deeds, wonderful works, such as are apparently above, and out of the reach of nature, and beyond the compass of human power and skill; such as raising the dead, causing the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak, the lame to walk, and the like; of which, see some instances in Act 3:

- 1 Corinthians 12:28
And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 12:281 voice
For this gift of God has been entrusted to the Church, as breath was to the first created man, for this purpose, that all the members receiving it may be vivified; and the [means of] communion with Christ has been distributed throughout it, that is, the Holy Spirit, the earnest of incorruption, the means of confirming our faith, and the ladder of ascent to God.
