[10] These are the generations of Shem: Shem was 100 years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:

[11] And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.[12] And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:[13] And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah 403 years, and begat sons and daughters.[14] And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:[15] And Salah lived after he begat Eber 403 years, and begat sons and daughters.[16] And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:[17] And Eber lived after he begat Peleg 430 years, and begat sons and daughters.[18] And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:[19] And Peleg lived after he begat Reu 209 years, and begat sons and daughters.[20] And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:[21] And Reu lived after he begat Serug 207 years, and begat sons and daughters.[22] And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:[23] And Serug lived after he begat Nahor 200 years, and begat sons and daughters.[24] And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:[25] And Nahor lived after he begat Terah 119 years, and begat sons and daughters.[26] And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.[27] Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.[28] And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

Arphaxad

Genesis 10

Noah’s offspring

His descendants are listed with significant individuals and groups, like Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, and others, leading down to Abraham and his descendants, which include Isaac and Jacob (Israel).

[1] Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.[2] The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.[3] And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.[4] And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.[5] By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.[6] And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.[7] And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.[8] And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.[9] He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.[10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.[11] Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,[12] And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.[13] And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,[14] And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.[15] And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,[16] And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,[17] And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,[18] And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.[19] And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.[20] These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.[21] Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.[22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.[23] And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.[24] And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.[25] And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.[26] And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah,[27] And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,[28] And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,[29] And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.[30] And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.[31] These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.[32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

Arphaxad: Arphaxad was an ancestor of several Semitic peoples, including the Hebrews through his descendant Eber.

According to the Bible, Arphaxad's lineage led to Abraham, the patriarch of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Arphaxad is the next in line, the father of Shelah, and the bloodline goes all the way to Abraham
