Arphaxad: biblical figure, son of Shem & Noah’s Grandson

Arphaxad is one of the sons of Shem and grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:22 KJV). He was born when Shem was a hundred years old or two years after the flood (Genesis 11:10 KJV). Given this case, we can assume that Shem was born 2 years after Noah reached five hundred years old which was 2446 BC. Provided this information, Arphaxad’s birth on the Biblical Timeline is 2346 BC.

  1. I love the Lord

  2. Arphaxa lived 135 years then begot. the Jewish translators turned it to 35 years to discredit Jesus as the high priest and cast doubt on his being the Messiah.
