as a paral um what's printed as the beginning of paral we said we attached it to we appended it to that because in the h edition of it was the end of so over there starts with the words which is first few lines into so that's what we're up to now we're going to discuss the story of the palago the generation of the dispersal of languages is at the tower of babel or in the of the edition says in the generation after the people would give birth to children and would be fruitful and multiply like a big insect meaning they would give birth to six kids at a time and I guess the medish is trying to tell us that's why the world was repopulated so quickly. The the mabble happened I quickly. The the mabble happened I believe in the year 1656 of creation and the dua palaga happened in 1996. So like in 300 years the world was like completely repopulated which is pretty fast. So it's saying that well six people were born at a time. What what's the interesting thing I found over here the but what's what's the source of this idea that there were six people born at a time we mentioned it earlier in par when we were talking about the generation of the marble it also said generation of the marble it also said six people were born at a time but here it says six people born at a time in the generation of the after the marble so where's where we come from so the parak makes a he finds it in the right And the puk says when it's talking about all the descendants of so we know that had a son named and it goes to the sons
