Study note
Setting — The Chronicler continues a patriarchal genealogy for Israel, moving from the descendants of Keturah to the primary covenant line. The words — וַיּוֹלֶד (va.yoled) means “and he fathered,” establishing direct paternal lineage, while בְּנֵי (bene) literally denotes “sons of,” introducing the next generation. The thread — This genealogical link appears in Genesis 21:2 at Isaac’s birth, Genesis 32:28 where Jacob receives the name Israel, and Matthew 1:2 in the New Testament genealogy. Why it lands — The text records Abraham’s paternal line through Isaac to Esau and Jacob, requiring the reader to track covenant inheritance through specific ancestral names.
