Concise Complete
Genealogies, Adam to Abraham. (1-27) The
descendants of Abraham. (28-54)
Verses 1-27
This chapter, and many that follow, repeat the genealogies, or lists of fathers
and children in the Bible history, and put them together, with many added. When
compared with other places, there are some differences found; yet we must not
therefore stumble at the word, but bless God that the things necessary to
salvation are plain enough. The original of the Jewish nation is here traced
from the first man that God created, and is thereby distinguished from the
obscure, fabulous, and absurd origins assigned to other nations. But the nations
now are all so mingled with one another, that no one nation, nor the greatest
part of any, is descended entirely from any of one nation, nor the greatest part
of any, is descended entirely from any of these fountains. Only this we are sure
of, that God has created of one blood all nations of men; they are all descended
from one Adam, one Noah. Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us?
malachi 2:10.
Verses
28-54 The genealogy is from hence confined to the posterity of Abraham. Let
us take occasion from reading these lists of names, to think of the multitudes
that have gone through this world, have done their parts in it, and then quitted
it. As one generation, even of sinful men, passes away, another comes. Ec 1:4;
Nu 32:14, and will do so while the earth remains. Short is our passage through
time into eternity. May we be distinguished as the Lord's people.
