It’s a trap: you can’t make the Bible into a liberal text. You’re just agreeing to the terms of the religious right.

The J genealogy of Shem begins in 10:21. In J, Shem is the father of Eber. Goes straight from 10:21 to 10:25. In P, Shem is the father of a bunch of people, mostly notably Aram. 10:24, though, has Arpachshad (a P character) as the grandfather of Eber (a J character). It’s a bridge verse.
