Genesis 5:28-31
[A.M. 1056. B.C. 2948.]
<07121> [he called.]
Noah <05146> [Noah. Gr. Noe, i.e., rest or comfort. because.]
father ....... other sons <01121 03205> [begat sons.]
died <04191> [A.M. 1651. B.C. 2353. he died.]
Luke 3:36
Cainan <2536> [Cainan.]
This Cainan is not found in the Hebrew text of any of the genealogies, but only in the Septuagint; from which, probably, the evangelist transcribed the register, as sufficiently exact for his purpose, and as more generally suited to command attention. (See on Ge 11:12.) It may here be remarked, that though some of the same names occur here, from Nathan downwards, as in Joseph's genealogy, yet there appears no sufficient evidence that the same persons were intended, different persons often bearing the same name.
Shem <4590> [Sem.]
[Shem.]
Noah <3575> [Noe.]
[Noah.]
