* Cainan.
This Cainan is not found in the Hebrew text of any of the
genealogies, but only in the Septuagint; from which, probably,
the evangelist transcribed the register, as sufficiently exact
for his purpose, and as more generally suited to command
attention. (See on Ge 11:12.) It may here be remarked, that
though some of the same names occur here, from Nathan
downwards, as in Joseph's genealogy, yet there appears no
sufficient evidence that the same persons were intended,
different persons often bearing the same name.
