The Bible says Terah, Abraham's father, had his three sons by the age of 70. Abraham was listed first but we don't know for sure the birth order. Abraham was 75 when he left Haran which is where Terah died at the age of 205. It isn't
clear on how long Abraham lived in Haran after Terah died as they had all dwelt there a while (Gen 11:31) but it doesn't say how long.
The Bible says Noah had his three sons by the age of 500. Shem was listed first over and over yet it is unclear if he was oldest. Gen 10:21 refers to Japheth as the elder (or possibly more important) brother. In Gen 9:24 Noah referred to
Ham as his younger son. In Gen 9:24-27 Noah might be rearranging the seniority of his sons because of what Ham did to him.
So, since Shem had Arphaxed two years after the flood (Gen 11:10) at the age of 100 and Noah was 600 at the time the waters of the flood were upon the earth (Gen 10:7-11) I'm going to guess that Noah was 602 602 when Arphaxed
was born.
