NASB | Luke 3:36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 3:36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, |
Bible Question: In this verse it says the son of Cainan is son of Arphaxad but in 1 Chr 1:18 it is Shelah is son of Arphaxad and in Gen. 10:24 the same. Why is Cainan mentioned in Luke and not in 1 Chr or Gen 10, what am I missing? |
Bible Answer: to Add - it is not the answer - I think the only logic is that Cainan died before his son Selah came into the world and his father Arphaxad adopted him as his son. This was possible but is there another explanation beside this logic that is unstantiated |
