And after he fathered Arpachshad, Shem lived five hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters.
And you be fruitful and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and increase in it.
so that our sons may be like plants grown up in their youth; and our daughters may be like corner-stones, polished like a palace building;
And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth.
These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old and fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood.
And Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and fathered Salah.
