Gordon,

Wed, 5 Nov 1997 15:56:12 -0700 (MST) you noted:

>I don't see Cainan (Luke 3:36) on your list.

The name Cainan is in the NT because it was in the LXX (Septuigint - Greek
translation of the OT) but it is not in the Masoretic (Hebrew) Text of the
OT.
It is generally recognized as having been added by the Greek translators.
