'Successive' in the Bible

He assigns them their allotment; he measures out their assigned place. They will live there permanently; they will settle in it through successive generations.

Who acts and carries out decrees? Who summons the successive generations from the beginning? I, the Lord, am present at the very beginning, and at the very end -- I am the one.

For this reason the width of the temple increased as it went up, and one went up from the lowest story to the highest by the way of the middle story.
