The historical record with names, families, and their descendants from Adam to the Sons Israel to therir descendants was important to trace lineage.

Two things stood out to me
1. The name the daughters name of Zelophehad listed.  It only said he had daughters.
1 Chronicles 7:15"... Another descendant was named Zelophehad, who had only daughters. "

The five daughters of Zelophehad provides legitimation of a limited right of Israelite women to inherit land.

2. The birthright of Reuben went to Joseph’s sons(1 Chronicles 5:1-2 ).
Because he defiled his father's bed by lying with Bilhah his father's concubine.

This led to the lineage from Adam to Jesus would come through the tribe of Judah.

Lesson sin can cause you to loose your birth right and inheritances.
