These are their generations – As Shem was reserved until after Japheth and Ham 1Ch 1:5-16, because in him the genealogy was to be continued (Gen 10:2 note), so Isaac is now reserved until the other lines of descent from Abraham have been completed. The same principle gives the descendants of Esau a prior place to those of Jacob 1 Chr. 1:35-51; 1Ch 2:1.

(29) These are their generations.Or, their genealogy or register of births. Before a personal name the term Tldth denotes the births, i.e., the posterity of the man, and the history of him and his descendants. Before the name of a thing Tldth signifies origin, beginnings (Gen. 2:4). The Hebrew expression sfer tldth answers to the of Mat. 1:1. The twelve sons or tribes of Ishmael (1Ch. 1:29-31) are given first, in an extract from Gen. 25:13-16.
