To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.
But ships shall come from Kittim and shall afflict Asshur and Eber; and he too shall come to utter destruction.”
These are the generations of Shem. When Shem was 100 years old, he fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood. And Shem lived after he fathered Arpachshad 500 years and had other sons and daughters. When Arpachshad had lived 35 years, he fathered Shelah. And Arpachshad lived after he fathered Shelah 403 years and had other sons and daughters. When Shelah had lived 30 years, he fathered Eber.
