Arphaxad

Shem’s son and Noah’s grandson. Arphaxad’s descendants were probably the Chaldeans (Genesis 10:22–24; 11:10–13; 1 Chronicles 1:17–18, 24; Luke 3:36).

Arphaxad was born two years after the flood when his father was one hundred years old (Genesis 11:10). He was the grandfather of Eber, whom some believe was ancestor of the Hebrews (1 Chronicles 1:17–25; Luke 3:35–36).
