Strong's Lexicon Arpakshad: Arphaxad Original Word: אַרְפַּכְשַׂד Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Arpakshad Pronunciation: ar-pak-SHAD Phonetic Spelling: (ar-pak-shad') Definition: Arpakshad Meaning: Arpakshad is a personal name, traditionally understood to mean "healer" or "release," though the exact meaning is not definitively known. Word Origin: The origin of the name Arpakshad is uncertain, but it is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for Arpakshad is Strong's G742, Ἀρφαξάδ (Arphaxad), which appears in the genealogical records of the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of Luke 3:36, tracing the lineage of Jesus Christ back to Adam. Usage: Arpakshad is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of a descendant of Shem, the son of Noah. He is listed in the genealogies that trace the lineage from Noah to Abraham. Context: Arpakshad is mentioned in the genealogical records of Genesis and 1 Chronicles. In Genesis 10:22, Arpakshad is listed as one of the sons of Shem: "The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpakshad, Lud, and Aram." He is also noted in Genesis 11:10-13, which details the generations from Shem to Abraham: "Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arpakshad. And after he had become the father of Arpakshad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters. When Arpakshad was 35 years old, he became the father of Shelah." Arpakshad's lineage is significant in the biblical narrative as it leads to Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelites. The genealogies emphasize the continuity of God's promise through the generations from Noah to the establishment of the Israelite nation.
