Bible Note: Comments........................................ Greetings Lionstrong! I'm not sure that I would change the chapters, but you are right about the division of thought. The phrase "these are the generations of....." is used ten times throughout Genesis. 1) 2:4 - the generations of the heavens and the earth. 2) 5:1 - the generations of Adam. 3) 6:9 - the generations of Noah. 4) 10:1 - the generations of the sons of Noah. 5) 11:10 - the generations of Shem. 6) 11:27 - the generations of Terah. 7) 25:12 - the generations of Ishmael. 8) 25:19 - the generations of Isaac. 9) 36:1 and 9 - the generations of Esau. 10) 37:2 - the generations of Jacob. Numbers 1, 3, 6, 8, and 10 are all followed by narratives. Numbers 2, 4, 5, 7, and 9 are all followed by genealogies. Of the genealogies, 2 and 5 are vertical - which trace on line of descent (both 10 generations). 4, 4, and 9 are all horizontal genealogies - traced through various children, not just the oldest.
