The sons of Shem
on 1 Chronicles 1:17-27
Shem's line carries a second clause of story, kept from Genesis 10:25: Peleg was named so because in his days the earth was divided. The list then runs from Shem to Abram in ten names, and verse 27 closes the chapter's first movement: and Abram (that is, Abraham).
This site's exposition
Abram (that is, Abraham)
Abram and Abraham are two names of one man. Abraham, father of many nations, is the name given in Genesis 17:5. The Chronicler uses Abraham for the sons of Abraham in verses 28 to 34.
