Sheleph, a son of Joktan; ancestor of a South Arabian tribe
A personal name appearing in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10:26 and its parallel in 1 Chronicles 1:20. Sheleph was a son of Joktan, who is presented as the ancestor of numerous Arabian tribes. Scholars identify Sheleph with a South Arabian tribe known from Arabic sources as Salif or Sulaf, located in the Arabian Peninsula. The name appears in the genealogies that trace the descendants of Shem, mapping the ethnolinguistic landscape of the ancient Near East. The Septuagint preserves the name as Saleph, and the parallel texts in Genesis and Chronicles confirm its stability in the tradition.

1. sense 1 — The Table of Nations in Genesis 10 served as an early ethnographic map, connecting known peoples to the sons of Noah and explaining the diversity of nations as part of God's design. Sheleph's inclusion among Joktan's sons locates this tribal group within the Semitic family and the broader Arabian world. Modern identification with the Salif tribe, though not certain, is plausible given the phonetic match and geographic location. The name functions as a genealogical anchor for understanding Israel's place among the nations. 2×
