Genesis 11:13

And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Arphaxad lived, after he begat Salah, four hundred and three years,.... In all four hundred and thirty eight; the Vulgate Latin wrongly reads, three hundred and three:

and begat sons and daughters; not mentioned by name: he died, as the above Arabic writer {z} says, in the month Nisan, A. M. 2696; and a Jewish writer {a} says he died in the forty eighth year of Isaac, and who also says {b}, that in his days they began to build the city of Babel.


{z} Apud Ibid. p. 260.
{a} R. Gedaliah, ut supra. (Shalshalet, fol. 1. 2.)
{b} Ib. fol. 75. 1.
