• We find Shem mentioned first in 1 Chron. 1:4, although he is not the first-born, a fact which, moreover, is frequently repeated in the genealogies of Genesis before Abraham. But the genealogies of Japheth and of Ham are enumerated before his (1 Chron. 1:5-16), as we see also in Genesis (Gen. 10). In God's eyes, Shem, chosen by grace, has the preeminence, but in the natural order that which is spiritual is not first. (“From Adam to the Twelve Tribes: 1 Chronicles 1” by H.L. Rossier)
