Genesis 11:13 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 11:13

And Arphaxad lived, after he begat Salah, four hundred and
three years
In all four hundred and thirty eight; the Vulgate Latin wrongly reads, three hundred and three:

and begat sons and daughters;
not mentioned by name: he died, as the above Arabic writer F26 says, in the month Nisan, A. M. 2696; and a Jewish writer F1 says he died in the forty eighth year of Isaac, and who also says F2, that in his days they began to build the city of Babel.
