Of Joktan’s Descendants and Gold (Genesis 10:1, 21–22, 24–30)

This devotion could also be called “The Descendants of Shem, Part 3.” Our last Genesis devotion was about Eber and Peleg. In this devotion we look at the descendants of Eber’s other son, Joktan, one of whom became renowned for gold.Music Credit: J. S.
