Oct 31, 2014 at 1:53 comment added Clint Eastwood That brings up another question. Is the "fast forward" point the same for all anachronisms in Bereishis?
Oct 30, 2014 at 22:19 comment added user6591 At the moment they left the teiva the Torah flash forwarded to a time when cities were built so as to show their boundaries. That point in time was sometime after the Migdal Bavel incident, otherwise they would've all still been in Bavel. That said point in time is also before Sodom and co. got blown up otherwise the Torah wouldn't use them as a landmark but rather the dead sea. So we are dealing with a small window of time that the Torah is focusing on. In that timeframe there was a point where the four towns were established and Bella was not. That is when the Torah is referring to.
Oct 30, 2014 at 21:02 comment added Clint Eastwood None of the towns were founded yet.
