Luke 3:35–36 puts Cainan between Arphaxad and Shelah; Genesis 11:12 and 1 Chronicles 1:18 say that Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and 1 Chronicles 1:24 names Shem, Arpachshad, Shelah one after another, with no word of who became the father of whom. This collection records Luke’s Cainan as an entry of its own, keeps both the father-son relationships Luke gives and the one Genesis and 1 Chronicles give, and does not decide how the records of the three books fit together.
