The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.

This is the account of Shem. Shem was 100 old when he became the father of Arphaxad, two years after the flood.

And after becoming the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters.

When Arphaxad had lived 35 years, he became the father of Shelah.

And after he became the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.
