Karl wrote regarding Genesis 5:10:
The content of the narration is that of the flood. The co-authors were
Noah's sons, Shem, Ham and Japhet.

JCR: Interesting interpretation. I was inclined to be
convinced but then I went and checked out Genesis 11:10
to see if your system worked here also.

אלה תולדת שם

I believe it would be impossible to claim that Shem
was the author of the Babel account as he only lived
100 years and would not have witnessed the events.
Now I could accept it if the account were posed in
prophetic style but it isn't.
