Summary

Genesis 11:22 briefly mentions the lineage of Serug, who was the son of Reu and the father of Nahor. This verse is part of the genealogy leading up to the story of Abraham, highlighting the continuity of God's plan through generations. While seemingly a simple record of ancestry, it serves to show the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His promises to the descendants of Adam and Eve despite human shortcomings. The genealogy in Genesis 11 sets the stage for the introduction of Abraham, who will play a significant role in God's redemptive plan for humanity.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

Now these are the generations of Terah,.... Or the genealogy of his posterity, which is a very short one; for it only gives an account of his three sons as before: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and of three grand children, Lot, Milcah, and Iscah, the children of Haran; and chiefly for the sake of Abram it is given, and indeed the above genealogy of Shem, which ends with him; and of whom and whose posterity the remaining part of this book of Genesis treats: and Haran begat Lot: of whom we have some further account in Gen 13:1.
