Who he was

Arpachshad, also spelled Arphaxad, was a son of Shem and grandson of Noah. He was born two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old. At age 35, Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. He lived 403 years after Shelah's birth and had other sons and daughters. Arpachshad was an ancestor of Abraham and is listed in both the genealogies in Genesis and in Jesus' genealogy in Luke 3. His name is of uncertain meaning but may be related to the region of Arrapḫa in Assyria.
