Genesis 11: 10-26
Two years after the flood Noah's son, Shem became a father himself. He named his son Arphaxad. Shem lived to be 500 years old and had other sons and daughters.
Arphaxad had a son named Shelah
Shelah had a son named Eber
Eber had a son named Peleg
(It is mentioned that in the time of Peleg the earth split....our continent use to be one whole land before it split in the continents it is divided into now, North America, South America, then across the sea we have Europe, Asia, South Africa and other lands. I wonder what it was like to travel on the earth back before it split - to be able to travel right across Europe into North America without having to board a ship or a plane?!)
Peleg had a son named Reu
Reu had a son named Serug
Serug had a son named Nahor
Nahor had a son named Terah
Terah fathered Abram, Nahor and Haran.
So begins the family line leading up to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
