i have a question concerning this passage:
Luke 3:34-36 "The son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, The son of Serug, the son of Arau, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shalah, The son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,"
i checked for sources for this geneaology (Gen. 11), and the only source that supports Luke's list is the LXX. All Hebrew or Aramaic OTs i can access are not in agreement with Luke.
The Peshitta and all greek texts seem to agree in Luke's text. This seems to be an indication agains peshitta primacy. Where did Luke get "Cainan" from, if he wrote in Aramaic?
Does anyone have any further insight to this?

Jesus is the one true God of the Bible.
