==Biblical accounts== According to the [[Book of Genesis]] he was one of the five sons of [[Shem]] (the son of [[Noah]]).<ref>{{bibleverse|Genesis|10:22|KJV}} {{Bibleverse|Genesis|11:10-13|KJV}} {{Bibleverse|1 Chronicles|1:17-18|KJV}}</ref> He is the twelfth name of the [[Genealogies of Genesis|Genesis genealogy]] that traces [[Abraham]]{{'}}s ancestry from Adam to [[Terah]] (cf. {{bibleverse|Luke|3:36β38|KJV}}). Beginning with Adam, nine [[Antediluvian]] names are given that predate Noah and [[Genesis flood narrative|the Flood]], and nine postdiluvian, beginning with Noah's eldest son Shem and ending with [[Terah]].<ref>{{Cite book| publisher = Bloomsbury Publishing| isbn = 978-0-567-57455-8| last = Blenkinsopp| first = Joseph| title = Creation, Un-creation, Re-creation: A discursive commentary on Genesis 1-11| date = 2011-02-17}}</ref> According to the text, Arpachshad's brothers were [[Biblical Elam|Elam]], [[Ashur (Bible)|Asshur]], [[Lud son of Shem|Lud]] and [[Aram, son of Shem|Aram]]. Arpachshad's son is called [[Selah (biblical figure)|Selah]], except in the [[Septuagint]], where his son is [[Cainan]], Shelah being Arpachshad's grandson. Cainan is also identified as Arpachshad's son in [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] {{bibleverse-nb|Luke|3:36|KJV}} and in the non-canonical book of [[Jubilees]] 8:1. The [[Book of Jubilees]] additionally identifies Arpachshad's wife as ''Rasu'aya'', the daughter of ''Susan'', who was the son (or daughter in some versions) of Shem's older son Elam. (Arpachshad's mother is named in this source as ''Sedeqetelebab''; for competing traditions on the name of Shem's wife see [[wives aboard the Ark]].)
