Usage: The name Arphaxad appears in genealogical contexts within the New Testament, specifically in the lineage of Jesus Christ.

Context: Arphaxad is a significant figure in biblical genealogies, appearing in the lineage of Shem, one of Noah's sons. According to the Berean Standard Bible, Arphaxad is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, highlighting his role in the ancestral line leading to the Messiah. In the New Testament, Arphaxad is referenced in the Gospel of Luke:

• Luke 3:36 (BSB): "the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,"

Arphaxad is noted as the father of Shelah, continuing the line through which the Hebrew patriarchs and ultimately Jesus Christ would come. His mention underscores the fulfillment of God's promises through the generations, tracing the divine plan from the post-flood world to the advent of Christ.

In the Old Testament, Arphaxad is first introduced in the genealogies of Genesis, where he is listed as one of the sons of Shem. His descendants are associated with the early post-diluvian civilizations, contributing to the spread of humanity across the earth after the flood.
