Sheleph (Hebrew: שלף, Sheleph; "drawing out") was a son of Joktan, of the family of Shem. (Gen. 10:26).

Descendants

Sheleph may originally have been at Es Sulaf in Yemen, which lays some 60 miles due north of present-day Sana'a and may be the "Salapeni" referred to by Ptolemy. Some speculate that they could be submerged into the general population of Bactria.
