There are lots of genealogies or family trees in the Old Testament. The Genesis 5 family tree lists descendants from Adam to Noah. The Genesis 11 family tree lists descendants from Shem to Abraham. Moses’ family tree is found in Exodus 6. The genealogies use the Hebrew word “yalad” which means “have a child.” It is translated “bore” or “begat.” Unless we discover how Moses used the word “yalad”, and how he understood his family history, and how he structured his family tree, the Old Testament genealogies will not make sense. They will be impossible. This will become obvious when the life events of Moses’ ancestor Jacob and Moses’ genealogy are placed on timelines.

Join us on Zoom as Kathy Clapper, an RTB apologist and founder of the Chicago RTB Chapter, shows us how to navigate through the old testament genealogies in Genesis.
