In Luke 3:36, the genitive singular masculine form occurs in the repeated father-son sequence. The APB renders the clause “the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad,” placing the named person between Cainan and Shem.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 3:36, the APB presents the name in the genealogical phrase “the son of Arphaxad.” This confirms the verse's genealogy rather than isolating every feature of the Greek form.
