The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
The record of the sons of Shem belongs to the most ancient and most comprehensive history contained in the Bible. That history comes fresh from the fountain of eternal truth and has been kept pure by a divine hand. It lights up the far-distant past where human research cannot penetrate.
It stands within the account of the origin of nations. It is part of the only authentic history of the human race, a history unsullied by human pride or prejudice. There it discloses the power that laid the foundations of the earth and stretched out the heavens.
