Son of Arpachshad, father of Ever
Lived 433 years (Genesis 11:14–15)
“Father of Ever — and the site of a known Hebrew/Greek genealogical divergence (see note)”
Traditional note: FLAGGED TEXTUAL VARIANT: Luke 3:35–36 (following the Septuagint) inserts a second figure also named Cainan/Kenan between Arpachshad and Shelach — '...son of Shelah, son of Cainan, son of Arpachshad, son of Shem...'. This second Cainan does NOT appear in the Masoretic Hebrew text of Genesis 11:12 or in 1 Chronicles 1:18, 24, both of which have Arpachshad father Shelach directly with no intervening generation. This is a well-documented Masoretic/Septuagint divergence. This dataset follows the Hebrew Bible's direct Arpachshad-to-Shelach line as primary (consistent with the patrilineal-Hebrew-Bible framework used throughout) and records Luke's longer reading here rather than silently omitting it or inventing a separate person entry for it.
