- the generations:
- Toledoth, the history, narrative, or account of the lives and actions of Jacob and his sons; for in this general sense the original must be taken, as in the whole ensuing history there is no genealogy of Jacob's family. "Theseª [are] the generationsª of the heavensª and of the earthª when they were created,ª° in the dayª that the LORDª Godª madeª° the earthª and the heavens,ª" {Gen 2:4} + "Thisª [is] the bookª of the generationsª of Adam.ª In the dayª that Godª createdª° man,ª in the likenessª of Godª madeª° he him;" {Gen 5:1} + "These¹ [are] the generationsª of Noah:ª Noahª was¹ a justª manª [and] perfectª in his generations,ª [and] Noahª walkedª° with¹ God.ª" {Gen 6:9} + "Now these¹ [are] the generationsª of the sonsª of Noah,ª Shem,ª Ham,ª and Japheth:ª and unto them were sonsª bornª° afterª the flood.ª" {Gen 10:1}
