 19And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
 20And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

• In Shem God’s history begins. He is Jehovah, the God of Shem. We have dates and epochs, for after all God governs, and the world must follow: man belongs to God. (“Genesis 10-11” by J.N. Darby)
• {v.10-26} Here we have the special line. It is no more an “endless genealogy” than that of Adam to Noah in chap. v. We may notice ten links in the chain of both chapters. But there are notable differences to be noticed also. The sorrowful chime is heard throughout the earlier one, “and he died.” Not once does this sound in the later one, though as a fact all spoken of in Gen. 11 did die; whereas there was in Gen. 5 the conspicuous exception of Enoch, “who walked with God and was not, for God took him.” (“Genesis 11:10-26: 1. The Genealogy” by W. Kelly)
