One more thing. Check out the meaning of the word “generation” in that verse, because it does not always correspond to the common modern English usage of the word. Sometimes it does, but other times, it means the entire lineage of a people or all the descendants of a person, as it is used in Genesis, for example “These are the generations of Noah”, etc. This is one of those words that needs to be carefully placed in context in a lot of Bible verses.
