* 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.
