Man living at the time of the Patriarchs
Shelah
Arpachshad’s son in the line from Shem to Abraham, born when his father was 35 (Genesis 11:12). He was 30 when Eber was born and lived another 403 years after that (Genesis 11:14–15). Luke places Cainan between him and Arphaxad (Luke 3:36); see the note on Cainan. Do not confuse him with Judah’s son of the same name (Genesis 38:5).
