- Genesis 4:16–22
So Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Commentary on Genesis 4:16–222 voices
By means of righteousness we come into God's presence, as Moses did when he entered the thick cloud where God was. On the other hand, by the practice of evil a person leaves the presence of the Lord. For example, Cain, when he killed his brother, left the Lord's presence as far as his will was concerned.
Athanasius of Alexandria· FESTAL LETTERS 10Patristic
The land of Nod - As נוד nod signifies the same as נד sa , a vagabond, some think this verse should be rendered, And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, from the east of Eden, and dwelt a vagabond on the earth; thus the curse pronounced on him, Gen 4:12, was accomplished.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Genesis 5:1
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in His own likeness.
- Genesis 10:1
This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood.
- Genesis 11:10–32
This is the account of Shem. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad.
Commentary on Genesis 11:10–322 voices
These are the generations of Shem,.... Or a genealogy of the posterity of Shem; not of all of them, only of those of the line which led to Abraham, by which might appear the true line in which the Messiah from Adam through Abraham sprung: Shem was one hundred years old, and begat Arphexad two years after the flood; by which it is pretty plain that he was younger than Japheth; See Gill on Gen 10:21 of Arphaxad his son; see Gill on Gen 10:22.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
That nothing is left upon record concerning those of this line, but their names and ages; the Holy Ghost seeming to hasten thro' them to the story of Abraham. How little do we know of those that are gone before us in this world, even those that lived in the same places where we live! Or indeed of those who are our contemporaries, but in distant places.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
- Genesis 22:20–24
Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:
Commentary on Genesis 22:20–242 voices
This is recorded here, 1. To show that tho' Abraham saw his own family highly dignified with peculiar privileges, yet he did not look with contempt upon his relations, but was glad to hear of the increase and prosperity of their families.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
Behold, Milcah, she hath also borne children unto thy brother - This short history seems introduced solely for the purpose of preparing the reader for the transactions related Genesis 24, and to show that the providence of God was preparing, in one of the branches of the family of Abraham, a suitable spouse for his son Isaac.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Genesis 25:1–4
Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
Commentary on Genesis 25:1–42 voices
By her he had six sons, in whom the promise made to Abraham concerning the great increase of his posterity was in part fulfilled. The strength he received by the promise still remained in him, to shew how much the virtue of the promise exceeds the power of nature.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
Then again Abraham took a wife,.... Three years after the death of Sarah, and when his son Isaac was married, and he alone, and now one hundred and forty years of age: and her name was Keturah; who she was, or of what family, is not said. An Arabic writer (z) says she was a daughter of the king of the Turks; another (a) of them calls her the daughter of King Rama; and another (b) the daughter of Pactor, king of Rabbah; but there were then no such people in being.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Genesis 25:12–16
This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
Commentary on Genesis 25:12–161 voice
These are the generations of Ishmael - The object of the inspired writer seems to be to show how the promises of God were fulfilled to both the branches of Abraham’s family. Isaac has been already referred to; God blessed him according to the promise. He had also promised to multiply Ishmael, and an account of his generation is introduced to show how exactly the promise had also been fulfilled to him.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Genesis 35:23–26
The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
- Genesis 36:1
This is the account of Esau (that is, Edom).
Commentary on Genesis 36:11 voice
To shew the performance of the promise to Abraham, that he should be the father of many nations, and of that answer which Rebekah had from the oracle she consulted, Two nations are in thy womb; and of the blessing of Isaac, Thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
- Exodus 1:5
The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all, including Joseph, who was already in Egypt.
- Exodus 6:14–27
These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These were the clans of Reuben.
Commentary on Exodus 6:14–272 voices
These be the heads - ראשי rashey, the chiefs or captains. The following genealogy was simply intended to show that Moses and Aaron came in a direct line from Abraham, and to ascertain the time of Israel’s deliverance. The whole account from Exo 6:14-26 inclusive, is a sort of parenthesis, and does not belong to the narration; and what follows from Exo 6:28 is a recapitulation of what was spoken in the preceding chapters.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
The heads of the houses of three of the tribes are here named, agreeing with the accounts we had, Gen. xlvi, 8-27. Reuben and Simeon seem to be mentioned only for the sake of Levi, from whom Moses and Aaron descended, and all the priests of the Jewish church.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
- Numbers 1:18
and on the first day of the second month they assembled the whole congregation and recorded their ancestry by clans and families, counting one by one the names of those twenty years of age or older,
- Numbers 26:1
After the plague had ended, the LORD said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the priest,
Commentary on Numbers 26:11 voice
After the plague - These words serve to show approximately the date at which the census was taken, and intimate the reason for the great decrease in numbers which was found to have taken place in certain tribes. Compare Deu 4:3 and Num 26:5 note in this chapter.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Ruth 4:18–22
Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,
- 1 Chronicles 1:1–4
Adam, Seth, Enosh,
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:1–42 voices
Adam, Seth,.... These first four verses exactly agree with the account of the antediluvian patriarchs in Gen 5:1, the first letter in Adam is larger than usual, as a memorial, as Buxtorf (m) observes, of the first and only man, from whence mankind had their beginning, and whose history the author had undertaken to write.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Adam, Sheth, Enosh - That is, Adam was the father of Sheth or Seth. Seth was the father of Enosh, Enosh the father of Kenan, and so on. No notice is taken of Cain and Abel, or of any of the other sons of Adam. One line of patriarchs, from Adam to Noah, is what the historian intended to give; and to have mentioned the posterity of Cain or Abel would have been useless, as Noah was not the immediate descendant of either.
