May 8, 2021 Bible Study Genealogy

Today, I am reading and commenting on  1 Chronicles 1.

I have little to write about today’s passage.  I do find it interesting that this passage lists the sons of Abraham as Ishmael and Isaac, but then it lists the sons of Keturah, Abraham’s concubine.  So, why is it phrased this way?  Perhaps because, Ishmael is Abraham’s eldest son and Isaac is the son of God’s promise to Abraham, while Keturah’s children were all born after the death of Sarah (or, at least, that is the way that the Genesis account reads).

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
