<p> (Heb. She'lach, שֶׁלִח, something | <p> (Heb. She'lach, '''''שֶׁלִח''''' , something [[Sent]] forth, as a [[Javelin]] or a [[Sprout]] ; Sept. and New Test. '''''Σαλά''''' , but '''''Σάλα''''' in 1 Chronicles 1:24; A.V. "Shelah" in 1 Chronicles 1:18; 1 Chronicles 1:24), the only named son of the patriarch Arphaxad, and the father of [[Eber]] ( Genesis 10:24; Genesis 11:12-15; 1 Chronicles 1:18; 1 Chronicles 1:24), B.C. cir. 2478. See SALA. "The name is significant of extension, the cognate verb ( '''''שָׁלִה''''' ) being applied to the spreading out of the roots and branches of trees ( Jeremiah 17:8; Ezekiel 17:6). It thus seems to imply the historical fact of the gradual extension of a branch of the Shemitic race from its original seat in Northern [[Assyria]] towards the river Euphrates. A place with a similar name in Northern [[Mesopotamia]] is noticed by [[Syrian]] writers (Knobel, in [[Genesis]] 11); but we can hardly assume its identity with the [[Salah]] of the Bible. Ewald (Gesch. 1, 354) and Von Bohlen (Introd. to Gels. 2, 205) regard the name as purely fictitious, the former explaining it as a son or offspring, the latter as the father of a race. That the name is significant does not prove it fictitious, and the conclusions drawn by these writers are unwarranted." </p> | ||
