	Following the [[Genesis flood narrative]], a large multi-branched genealogy presents the descendants of the sons of Noah ([[Genesis 10:9]]). The 70 names given represent Biblical geography, consisting of local [[ethnonym]]s and [[toponym]]s presented in the form of [[eponymous ancestor]]s. This is a presentation of the peopling of the world and indicates a view of the unity of the human race. The peoples and places are not organized by geography, [[language family]] or [[ethnic groups]], and probably do not represent the geography of a particular point in history, instead deriving from an old nucleus of geographical knowledge to which additional names/peoples were subsequently added.

New page

The '''genealogies of Genesis''' provide the framework around which the [[Book of Genesis]] is structured. Beginning with Adam, genealogical material in Genesis 4, 5, 10, 11, 22, 25, 29-30, 35-36, and 46 move the narrative forward from the creation to the beginnings of Israel's existence as a people.

Adam's lineage in Genesis contains two branches: Chapter 4 giving the descendants of for [[Cain]], and Chapter 5 that for Seth that is then continued in later chapters. Chapter 10 gives a [[Table of Nations]] that records the populating of the Earth by Noah's descendants, and is not strictly a genealogy but an [[ethnography]]. Genesis 5 and 11 include the age at which each [[patriarch]] had the progeny named as well as the number of years he lived thereafter. The ages include patterns surrounding the numbers five and seven, for instance the 365 year life of [[Enoch (ancestor of Noah)|Enoch]] (the same as the number of full calendar days in a solar year) and the 777 year life of Lamech (repetitional emphasis of the number seven).

==Enumerated genealogy==
Apart from the the reliable Hebrew [[Masoretic Text]], two corrupted versions of the Genesis genealogy exist: the Greek [[Septuagint]], and the [[Samaritan Pentateuch]]. Translations from the Masoretic Text are preferred by Western Christians, including [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholics]] and [[Protestant]]s and by followers of [[Orthodox Judaism]], whereas the Greek version is preferred by Eastern Christians, including [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]], Coptic, Ethiopic, Jacobite and Armenian. The Samaritan version of the Pentateuch is used mainly by the [[Samaritans]]. Many modern Roman Catholic and Protestant bible versions will abandon the Masoretic Text and replace readings with corrupted genealogies.

==Cain and Seth==
Genesis gives Adam and Eve three children, named [[Cain]], [[Abel]] and [[Seth]]. A genealogy tracing the descendants of Cain is given in [[Genesis 4]], while the line from Seth down to Noah appears in [[Genesis 5]].
