Adam, Sheth, Enosh

on 1 Chronicles 1:1-4

No book of Scripture opens more abruptly: one word, Adam, and the whole primeval history compressed into a column of ten names from Adam to Noah. The list is Gen 5's chosen line with Cain's line silently omitted, which announces the Chronicler's method before he states it: he traces the thread that leads to David and the temple and lets everything else fall away. A remnant home from Babylon is being told its story starts at the first man.
