Hi guys! I’m just starting to read the Bible and I’m confused and would like input.

Genesis 10:5 says
 **“**Their descendants became the seafaring peoples that spread out to various lands, each identified by its own language, clan, and national identity”
and says that for each of the descendants.

But then Genesis 11 starts with ** **
“At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words.2 As the people migrated to the east, they found a plain in the land of Babylonia[a] and settled there.”

That timing confuses me a lot. If they were already spread out with their own language how would the story of babel make sense?
Thank you for your help in advanced
