Bible Note: CAI´NAN (ka´i-nan). The son of Arphaxad and father of Shelah, according to Luke 3:35-36. He is nowhere named in the Heb. text, nor in any of the versions made from it, such as the Samaritan, Aram., Syr., Vulg., etc. It is believed by many that the name was not originally in the text, even of Luke, but is an addition of careless transcribers from the LXX. See also Kenan for the NASB and NIV rendering of KJV “Cainan” in Genesis 5:9-14; 1 Chron. 1:2. —New Unger's Bible Dictionary |
