John Gill Commentary 1 Chronicles 1

Ver. 1-4. Adam, Seth These first four verses exactly agree 1 Chronicles 1:2

(See Gill on 1 Chronicles 1:1)

And these are the garments which they shall make
Some for Aaron and some for his sons, some peculiar to the high priest, and others in common to him and other priests:

a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre,
and a girdle ;
of each of which, with others, there is a more particular account in this chapter, and will be observed in their order:

and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons :
as those before mentioned, with some others not mentioned; some for Aaron only, and others that were to be worn by his sons also:

that he may minister unto me in the priest's office ;
these were absolutely necessary to the execution of the priestly office, and an essential qualification for it, and without which it was not lawful to serve in it.

(See Gill on 1 Chronicles 1:1)

(See Gill on 1 Chronicles 1:1)

Here begins the genealogy of the sons of Noah after the flood; of the sons of Japheth the elder, in this and the two following verses; next of the sons of Ham, the younger brother, (1 Chronicles 1:8–16) , then of Shem, whose posterity are mentioned last, because from him, in the line of Heber, sprang Abraham, the ancestor of the Jewish nation, of whom the Messiah was to come, for whose sake this genealogy is given, (1 Chronicles 1:17–27) . The whole is the same with the account in (Genesis 10:1–11:29)
