Mike, I don't think you intended to say this. To reiterate, my
consistent position is that the Septuagint correctly records Cainan
in Genesis 11 as the son of Arphaxad, father of Salah, and Luke
correctly recorded it from the Septuagint. A careless Hebrew scribe
was responsible for omitting Canain, and he is today absent in our
English Bible translations due to their reliance on the Hebrew text,
yet it still remains in Luke.
