General Notes

b. Genesis 10:22, Luke 3:36. d. Genesis 11:13.  He was born 2 years after the flood. He was 35 years old when his sonShelah was born, and the n he lived another 403 years, and died at 438years old.  The Hebrews claimed to have descended from him. He is also believed tohave given his name t o a tribe and region in northern Assyria.(Everyone in the Bible, by William P. Barker, 1966)  He was the progenitor of the Chaldeans, his name being equivalent to'arpkeshed', that is, th e boundary of Chaldea.  That he was indeed theforbear of the Chaldeans is confirmed by the Hu rrian (Nuzi) tablets,which render the name as Arip-hurra - the founder of Chaldea.  The namew as also known to the Akkadians as Arraphu. The Assyrians knew his descendants as the Kaldu, adept astrologers,magicians and mathematici ans. The very earliest settlement of the children of Arphaxad, however,appears to have been wha t is today a 2 1/2 acre ruin called Arpachiya.It lies some 4 miles to the east of ancient Nin eveh, and is the remainsof a very early farming community.   (Internet:www.biblebelievers.org .au/nation01.htm)  1  NAME Arphaxad // 2  SOUR http://pedigree.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/pedview.dll?ti+0&ind=43554&file=34192 9 2  SOUR S561261 3  NOTE GenCircles -- April 18, 2001   Note from Laurie Stacey (Jan 16, 2001):  Starting with Magi and working backward to Zarah (Zerah) I find no otherproof of these names . Also, allowing for 50 years from father to son andworking backward from Jacob (Israel)'s su ggested birthdate of 1800 B.C.,Seskef (Sceaf) should have been born abt 950 B.C., far differe nt than theBenner suggested date of 120 B.C. Either the dates are wrong or we aremissing abou t 20 generations.  Still, I must record these so that they are not lost, trusting thatbetter knowledge will be o btained to make necessary corrections.  Zarah (Zerah) was the son of Judah through his daughter-in-law Tamar  Genealogy Given to Laurie Stacey by Steve Thurgood of the Lacey IV ward,Lacey WA stake (Jan 2 001): From WIlliam the Conqueror, to Adam: Eistein Glumra Iverson (Earl of More) Ivar(ssen)'s (Earl of Upland) WIFE was NN, daughter of Eisten Glumru, King of Foadbein Halfdau, King of Froadbein Eisten, King of Froadbein Frond or Throad's WIFE was NN, Dau of SIgurd Ring, King of the Nor.
