GENESIS 10
I’m always amazed when I read the genealogies in the Bible. They’re so succinct—Just a list of names that spans hundreds of years. Whole decades of time, whole nations of people are reduced to a single name.
What can you learn from a name? Can someone know anything about me just by learning my name? As people, we are so complex... our names can’t possibly begin to sum up what we’re all about.
GENESIS 5
Genesis 5 is the first of many genealogies in the Bible. I have, no doubt, read this before, but I saw it in a new way today. In recent years, my mother has gotten heavy into genealogy, and as she continues to discover more about our family origins, we have been regaled time and time again with stories of our great (and some not-so-great) ancestors. It’s interesting to find out where we came from, to trace back through the generations and discover more about those who came before us.
