The Lineage

"These are the generations of." - the scroll of who begat whom. Trace the covenant line from Adam to David, one cited verse at a time. Pick any name to see the father before, the children after, and the King James verse that places each one in the record. (Scripture: Genesis 5:1) Hebrew: זֶה סֵפֶר תּוֹלְדֹת אָדָם בְּיוֹם בְּרֹא אֱלֹהִים אָדָם בִּדְמוּת אֱלֹהִים עָשָׂה אֹתֽוֹ׃

The Generations - Adam to David

Use the box to trace any name (try Abraham or Noah), or filter the spine by where it is recorded - Genesis 5, Genesis 11, Ruth 4. The page reloads with `?person=` or `?from=` and renders entirely server-side; the verse text under each name is quoted verbatim from the native KJV corpus.

What this is. A genealogical research instrument. Every name and link is anchored to a verbatim King James verse, pulled live from the native Bible corpus and cited by reference. Where Scripture is ambiguous or a detail is traditional, it is labeled, nothing here is invented to fill a gap.

What This Is (and Is Not)

This is a **genealogical research instrument** built from cited records. Each name on the spine carries the verbatim King James verse that places it in the line, looked up live from the estate's native Bible engine - the **same corpus** that powers Bible Search and the Signet. It is **not** a speculative family tree: where a relationship is traditional (for example the etymology of "Hebrew" from Eber) or a figure has alternate names, that is labeled plainly. No genealogy is invented to bridge a gap. The royal line is marked where Scripture carries it; side-branches are shown as branches, not as the line of promise.
