Bible Note: Hello EdB, http://graceandknowledge.faithweb.com/cainan.html: "However, Cainan does appear in the Greek Septuagint translation of Genesis: "Sons of Sem: Elam, and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Cainan . . . . And Arphaxad begot Cainan, and Cainan begot Sala. And Sala begot Heber . . . . And Arphaxad lived a hundred and thirty-five years, and begot Cainan. And Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Cainan, four hundred years, and begot sons and daughters, and died. And Cainan lived a hundred and thirty years and begot Sala; and Cainan lived after he had begotten Sala, three hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters, and died." (Gen. 10:22, 24; 11:12-13) Although many Greek Septuagint manuscripts of I Chronicles omit the second Cainan, many Septuagint copies show the following: "And Arphaxad begot Cainan, and Cainan begot Sala, and Sala begot Heber . . . . Sem, Arphaxad, Cainan, Sala, . . . ." (I Chron. 1:18, 24) " This looks even stranger. Notice above, how the entire list of names are repeated. Am I looking at this the wrong way? Pastor Glenn |
