A genealogy traces the line from Noah's son Shem down to a man named Abram — setting the stage for everything that follows.
After the Tower of Babel scatters humanity, Genesis narrows its focus. A genealogy runs from Shem through ten generations to Terah, who fathers Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Abram marries Sarai, who is barren. Terah takes his family and leaves Ur of the Chaldeans heading for Canaan, but they settle in Harran instead. The stage is now set for God's call to Abram — the moment the story shifts from all humanity to one chosen family.
