1 Chronicles 1:26

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler compiles a post-Flood genealogy, listing three successive male ancestors at the pivot point between the early patriarchs and the founding of the covenant family.

The words — The text supplies נָח֖וֹר (na.Chor) and תָּֽרַח (Ta.rach), Hebrew proper names that function strictly as sequential genealogical markers without descriptive modifiers.

The thread — This exact sequence appears in Luke 3:34, which reverses the lineage backward through Terah and Nahor to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and ultimately Jesus.

Why it lands — The verse requires the reader to acknowledge an unbroken historical record that preserves the covenant line across generations, demanding attention to how divine promises are tracked through documented ancestry.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
