What does Cainan mean biblically?
Could you please elaborate on the biblical meaning of Cainan? In the context of biblical genealogies, particularly in the lineage of Adam to Noah, Cainan's name sometimes appears as an intermediate ancestor between Arphaxad and Shelah. However, his inclusion varies depending on the biblical text or translation. Some scholars suggest Cainan may be a later insertion or an alternative name for another individual, while others argue for his inclusion as a genuine historical figure. Could you provide more insight into the debate surrounding Cainan's biblical significance and the implications of his inclusion or exclusion in genealogical records?
