Which was [the son] of Cainan, which was [the son] of Arphaxad, which was [the son] of Sem, which was [the son] of Noe, which was [the son] of Lamech,
Note 2 at Lk. 3:36: Cainan is not listed in the genealogy recorded in Genesis. Rather, Genesis 11:12 shows Sala (Salah) being the son of Arphaxad. The genealogy-conscious Jews of the first century would, no doubt, have contested this if it had been inaccurate. Therefore, this account is to be considered correct.
