Genesis 11:10-32

Following a chronologically ordered Bible study by Skip Andrews, we'll now continue with a genealogical descendancy record:

(10) These are the generations of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood. (11) And after he begat Arphaxad, Shem lived five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. (12) And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begat Salah. (13) And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. (14) And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber. (15) And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. (16) And Eber lived thirty-four years, and begat Peleg. (17) And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. (18) And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu. (19) And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. (20) And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begat Serug. (21) And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. (22) And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor. (23) And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. (24) And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begat Terah. (25) And Nahor lived after he begat Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. (26) And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. (27) Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. (28) And Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans. (29) And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. (30) But Sarai was barren; she had no child. (31) And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot, his grandson, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans, to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there. (32) And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

This genealogy brings us to Abraham, but before we read about his life, we will turn next time to the story of Job, who probably lived at about the same time.
