Ezra
1 Chronicles 1:18ESV·traditional attribution
Arpachshad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
Adam was our common father in the flesh, Abraham the father of the faithful. The first broke covenant and made us all miserable; the second received the covenant of grace by which we may all be made happy. See to it that by faith you become seed of Abraham, grafted into the good olive, not branches of that wild olive we are by nature.
