Genesis 10:24
Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.
BSB
ASV
And Arpachshad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber.
KJV
And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
Shem, the third son of Noah, had five sons, who inhabited the land that began at Euphrates, and reached to the Indian Ocean. For Elam left behind him the Elamites, the ancestors of the Persians.
(Verse 24.) Arphaxad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber. From Eber were born two sons: one was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan. Eber, from whom the Hebrews are descended, gave his son Peleg the name which means 'division', because in his days the languages were divided in Babylon.
Salah - The founder of the people of Susiana. Eber - See Gen 10:21. The Septuagint add Cainan here, with one hundred and thirty to the chronology.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
