There are various genealogies described in the Bible.

Genesis
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
The book of Genesis records the descendants of Adam and Eve. The enumerated genealogy in chapters 4, 5 and 11 reports the lineal male descent to Abraham, including the age at which each patriarch fathered his named son and the number of years he lived thereafter. The genealogy for Cain is given in Chapter 4 and the genealogy for Seth is in Chapter 5. The genealogy in chapter 10 recording the male descendants of Noah is known as the Table of Nations.
Table of Nations

Within the book of Genesis, the Table of Nations is an extensive list of descendants of Noah appearing within the Torah at Genesis 10, representing an ethnology from an Iron Age Levantine perspective and its reflections in the medieval and modern history and genealogy researches.

Genealogy of Jesus according to Christianity
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
The genealogy of Jesus through either one or both of his earthly parents (Mary and Joseph) is given by two passages from the Gospels, Matthew 1:2–16 and Luke 3:23–38. Both of them trace Jesus' line back to King David and from there on to Abraham; Luke traces the line all the way back to the Adam from Genesis. These lists are identical between Abraham and David, but they differ radically from that point onward. The combination of the two genealogies covers legal and biological areas of Jesus's ancestry.
