'''Arpachshad''' is mentioned in the [[Bible]] in the book of [[Genesis]]. He was the son of [[Shem]] and the father of [[Abraham]]. Arpachshad was a [[Semite]].
'''Arpachshad''', or '''Arphaxad''' ([[Hebrew]]: '''ארפּכשׁד''', ''Arpaḫšad'', [[Arabic]]: '''أرفخشذ''' ''Ārfakhshad''; "healer, releaser") (1658 AM-2096 AM, or 2346 BC-1908 BC), is the third named son of [[Shem]].
He was born in 1658 AM, two years after the [[Great Flood]].<ref>{{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=11|verses=12-13}}</ref> He had four known brothers, named [[Aram]], [[Asshur]], [[Elam]], and [[Lud]].
He lived for 35 years, and had a son named [[Salah]]. He died 403 years later. His total lifespan was therefore 438 years, less than half that of his grandfather [[Noah]]—an indication of the radical changes that the Global Flood wrought upon the earth.
