1336. Verse 11 And Shem lived after he begot Arpachshad five hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters. 'Shem lived after he begot Arpachshad five hundred years' means duration and state, 'Shem' here, as previously, meaning internal worship in general, and 'Arpachshad' knowledge. 'And he begot sons and daughters' means matters of doctrine.
