The Bible began with Adam, we journeyed past Cain and Abel, to a child named Seth. From Seth, we went to Jared, to Enoch, to Methuselah, Noah, and to Noah’s sons. The Biblical historians took a special interest in Noah’s son Shem.

Particularly, Shem, Arphaxad, Salah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, and Terah. Why? They all lead to Abram (Abraham), whom the ALMIGHTY will separate to make a nation from his descendants for a specific purpose.
