Who is Cainan?
CAI'NAN
(possession, or a smith). 1. The son of Enos. Gen 6:9-14; Luke 3:37. He is called Kenan, which is the correct form, in 1 Chr 1:2. He lived 910 years. 2. A son of Arphaxad, Luke 3:36; but as the name is not found in the Hebrew, it is probably an unwarranted interpolation into the Septuagint, and thence copied by Luke into his Gospel.
