A listing of ten antediluvian patriarchs, indicating the years of life of each, is found in the fifth chapter of the book. Genesis.

The descendants of the sons of Noah are also listed in the tenth chapter of the book of Genesis. But in the book of Chronicles, the introductory and concluding remarks (Gen. 10:1,21,32), as well as the historical instructions of the book, are omitted. Genesis for the founding of the kingdom by Nimrod in Nineveh (Gen.10:10) and for the settlement of the Japhethites and Hamites in their places of residence (Gen.10:5,19). Apart from this difference, as well as minor features in the pronunciation of names and the omission of some words in verse 17 (see below), both lists are similar to each other both in the names listed and in form. So in verses 5–9, as in (Gen. 10:2–7), the members of the list are connected through the expression “ubenei” (“sons”); from verse 10, as in verse 8, through “yalad” (“gave birth”); in (1 Chronicles 17) again through “benei”, as in verse 22, and in verse 18 again through “yalad”, as in verses 24 and 25 of Genesis. In view of this, the list of descendants of Noah, book. Paralipomenon can be considered borrowed from the book. Genesis. The names of Japheth's 14 descendants - seven sons and seven grandsons. The reading "Rifat" instead of the Hebrew "Difat" has for itself, in addition to the authority of the LXX and the Vulgate, ethnographic names; Ριφαταῖοι Paphlagonians in Josephus (Archaeology 1.6). The transformation of Rifat into Difat was influenced by the similarity of the Hebrew letters resh (ר) and dalet (ד). Instead of the name "Rodamin" in the Hebrew text (Gen. 10:4) there is Dodanim; in the LXX in both cases “Ρόδιος”, in the Vulgate in both “Dodanim”. Greek reading and Hebrew book. Chronicles should be considered more correct, since it finds an explanation in the name of the island of Rhodes, the inhabitants of which were descendants of Yavan. The names of Ham's 30 descendants are 4 sons, 24 grandsons and 2 great-grandsons (Sheba and Dedan - v. 3). Nimrod is not included among the grandchildren, since he is not considered as the ancestor of a separate generation, but only as a hero. The remark: “he began to be strong on the earth” represents his sufficient characteristic, due to which there is no need to repeat further testimony about him from the book of Genesis (Gen. 10: 9–12). 26 descendants of Shem, non-Jews: five sons, five grandsons and sixteen further descendants. In Art. 17 there is no expression before the name Uz (Gen. 10:23): “sons of Aram”, due to which he, as well as further persons - Hul, Gepher and Meshech are presented in the book. Chronicles by the sons of Shem, while according to the book. Genesis they are the children of Aram, i.e. grandchildren of Sim. But this difference is explained by the fact that here, as in the list of the first four verses, the writer of Chronicles omitted the words “son of the sheep of Aram,” being sure that the attitude of Uz, Hul, etc. to Aram is known to his readers from the book. Genesis. When meeting the author himself, Knobel’s assumption that he considered Uts to be the son of Shem is unacceptable. Instead of Meshech in the Hebrew text (Gen. 10:23) there is Mash. It is difficult to say which reading is more correct. But since the name Meshech is adopted by the son of Japheth (Gen. 10:2; 1 Chron. 1:5), it is more natural to assume that the people descended from Shem bore a different name - “Mash”, i.e. accept the reading of Genesis as correct. The Greek text, both in 1 Chronicles and in (Gen. 10:24,11:12), places Cainan between Arphaxad and Saloi, on the contrary, in Hebrew. In the text, neither in this nor in this place is there this intermediary name, supplied by the Evangelist Luke among the ancestors of the Savior (Luke 3:36). The question of the predominant fidelity of one or another text is resolved on the basis of the consideration that neither the most ancient Greek translators nor the Christians of the first centuries had any incentive to include in the genealogical lists of the Jewish patriarchs a person who had never existed. It is more natural to assume that the omission in the Hebrew text is in the book. Genesis, where the reason for the scribe's error could have been the same number of years (130) of Cainan and Salah before the birth of their firstborns (Gen. 11:12,14). The implausibility of the Jewish reckoning is evident from the fact that with the omission of Cainan, Shem must live to see the pandemonium and scattering of the tribes. 1 Chronicles 1:24. [The sons] of Shem: Arphaxad, [Kainan,] Salah, 1 Chronicles 1:25. Eber, Peleg, Raghav, 1 Chronicles 1:26. Seruch, Nahor, Terah, 1 Chronicles 1:27. Abram, aka Abraham. The descendants of Shem before Abraham, also listed in (Gen. 11:10–26). The author of Chronicles again conveys only names, while in the book. Genesis indicates the origin of one patriarch from another and the number of years of life of each. It is very likely that this list was borrowed from the book. Genesis. 1 Chronicles 1:28. Sons of Abraham: Isaac and Ishmael. 1 Chronicles 1:29. This is their genealogy: the firstborn of Ishmael, Navaioth, followed by Kedar, Adbeel, Mivsam, 1 Chronicles 1:30.

The sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ifran and Heran. 1 Chronicles 1:42. The sons of Yetzer: Bilgan, Zaavan and Akan. Sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran. 1 Chronicles 1:43. These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before a king reigned over the children of Israel: Bela the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dingaba; 1 Chronicles 1:44. and Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his succession. 1 Chronicles 1:45. And Jobab died, and Husham, from the land of the Temanites, reigned in his succession. 1 Chronicles 1:46. And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad reigned in his place, who smote the Midianites in the field of Moab; The name of its city is Aviv. 1 Chronicles 1:47. And Hadad died, and Samla of Masreki reigned in his succession. 1 Chronicles 1:48. And Samla died, and Saul from Rehoboth, which was by the river, reigned in his place. 1 Chronicles 1:49. And Saul died, and Baal Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. 1 Chronicles 1:50. And Baal Hanan died, and Gadar reigned over him; the name of his city is Pau; His wife's name was Mehetabeel, daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezaghab. 1 Chronicles 1:51. And Gadar died. And there were elders of Edom: elder Timna, elder Alva, elder Jeteth, 1 Chronicles 1:52. Elder Olivema, Elder Ela, Elder Pinon, 1 Chronicles 1:53. Elder Kenaz, Elder Teman, Elder Mivtsar, 1 Chronicles 1:54. Elder Magdiel, Elder Iram. These are the elders of Edom. The descendants of Abraham are divided into three groups: from Hagar (Ishmael), Keturah and Sarah. The first two groups are listed earlier than the last, obviously, so that later it is possible to move on to the genealogy of God's Chosen People, without disturbing its coherent presentation by indicating other peoples descended from Abraham. The names of the 12 sons of Ishmael and the order in which they are listed are the same as (Gen. 25:12–16). Likewise, the introductory remark: “here is their genealogy,” the phrase: “the firstborn of Ishmael, Navaioth,” and the final formula: “these are the sons of Ishmael,” leave no doubt that the author is again repeating the book. Genesis (Gen.25:12,13,16). Abraham's descendants from Keturah - 6 sons and 7 grandsons - are not listed entirely according to the instructions (Gen. 25:1-4). Namely, the author of Chronicles omits the peoples descended from Dedan, the grandson of Abraham (Gen. 25:3), according to the explanation of some exegetes (Keil), because he wanted to indicate only sons and grandsons, according to others, because the descendants of Dedan were not listed in the list of Genesis at hand. Isaac is called the son of Abraham already in verse 28; but here, before the presentation of his genealogy, a remark is made about his birth from Abraham by analogy with (Gen. 25:19), where the genealogy of Isaac is preceded by the same exact phrase: “Abraham begat Isaac.” From (Gen. 36:10) onwards, the present list of Esau's descendants is distinguished by the absence of mention of his wives and minor differences in the pronunciation of names: Jeus instead of Eis (Gen. 36:14), Zepho instead of Tsephi (Gen. 36:11). The seven sons of Seir and their descendants, who constitute the original population of Idumea, although they do not belong to the generation of Abraham, are included in the book due to their merger with the tribe of Esau (Olivema, Esau’s wife, came from the Seirians (Gen. 36:18,25)). Chronicles, as in the book. Genesis (Gen. 36:20 etc.), into the composition of the nation descended from the latter. The names of the seven sons of Seir are similar to the names of the prince. Genesis (Gen.35:20–21); a similar coincidence is seen in the names of their descendants - 19 men and one woman. The author only omits the name of the second one mentioned in the book. Genesis, Seirite women - Olivem (Gen.36:25). The list of the kings of Edom is an almost literal repetition of the list (Gen. 36:31–39). Apart from minor features caused by the difference in the forms of pronunciation of the same name (Gadad - verse 46 and Pau verse 50 instead of Gadar and Pai (Gen. 36:35,39), as well as the omission of some additions of the book of Genesis ("and was king in Edom" - (Gen. 36:32) and "son of Achbor" - Gen. 36:39), then a more important difference between the lists is the absence in the book of Genesis of the comment on the death of the last king Hadad (verse 51). It is explained by the fact that this king was alive in the time of Moses. A list of the elders of Edom, with a more complete introduction and conclusion than here, is found in (Gen. 31:40–3). The abbreviation of the text of Genesis was made by the author of Chronicles with the consideration that the additions are known to readers. The chiefs are named after their domains; This is undoubtedly guaranteed by the female names Famna and Agalivam, as well as the names of the localities - Ela, Pinon, Feman. The expression standing before the calculation of the elders: “and Hadad died” gives some scholars (Berto) the right to consider them the successors of the kings and see here an indication of the transition from monarchical to democratic power. Others (Keil) allow joint rule between kings and elders. You might be interested in:
