The line of Arphaxad to Salah to Eber belongs to the most ancient history in human possession, and also the most comprehensive, having come fresh from the fountain of eternal truth with its purity kept through the ages by a divine hand. It helps light up the far-distant past that human research seeks in vain to penetrate. Only in God's word, where this genealogy is found, is beheld the power that laid the foundations of the earth and stretched out the heavens. It forms part of the only authentic account of the origin of nations. It forms part of a history of the human race that is unsullied by human pride or prejudice.
