Genesis 11:20
“And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:”
KJV
Read in Genesis 11Meaning
At age thirty-two, Reu fathers Serug and the genealogy continues without interruption toward Abram's ancestry.
Read carefully
The brevity of the notice reflects genealogical function; Genesis does not supply biographies for every person named in the line.
Reflection
A person's significance in a larger story may rest in faithful continuity rather than in recorded public achievements.
