40 And Eleasah begat Sisamai, and Sisamai begat Shallum,
40 Eleasah the father of Sismai, Sismai the father of Shallum,
40 Eleasah fathered Sismai, and Sismai fathered Shallum.
40 Eleasah had Sismai, Sismai had Shallum,
40 Eleasah begot Sismai, and Sismai begot Shallum;
40 Eleasah was the father of Sismai. Sismai was the father of Shallum.

Genealogies.
We are now come to the register of the children of Israel, that distinguished people, who were to dwell alone, and not be reckoned among the nations. But now, in Christ, all are welcome to his salvation who come to him; all have equal privileges according to their faith in him, their love and devotedness to him. All that is truly valuable consists in the favour, peace, and image of God, and a life spent to his glory, in promoting the welfare of our fellow-creatures.
