The genealogies of Scripture often appear as long lists of names, yet they serve profound theological and historical purposes. The genealogy from Noah to Abraham in Genesis 10–11 traces God’s covenant promises from the flood to the calling of Abraham, father of Israel. These names reveal God’s preservation of humanity, His judgment of nations, and His sovereign choice of one family through which blessing would come to the world.

By studying this genealogy, we uncover patterns of divine faithfulness and prophecy that set the stage for redemption in Christ.
