Shem is stated to have fathered his first son, Arpachshad, two years after the Deluge (2368 B.C.E.) when he, Shem, was 100 years old. (Genesis 11:10) Following the birth of Arpachshad, other sons (and also daughters) were born to Shem, including Elam, Asshur, Lud, and Aram (Abraham) (Genesis 10:22; 11:11)

∙ 12y agoIt appears to be 19 generations.
Adam, Seth, E′nosh, Ke′nan, Ma‧hal′a‧lel, Ja′red, E′noch, Me‧thu′se‧lah, La′mech, Noah, Shem, Arpachshad, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abram (Abraham). (Genesis 4:25-5:29)(Genesis 11:10-26)
The beginning of the answer is found in Genesis 5. If one uses the rule of 30 years, then this question is indeterminate because it is not certain how long each generation was at that time. We see that each man lived a very long time, so a timeline is possible, but not as we see it today. The number of men listed in Genesis 5 is 10: Adam, Seth, Enosh, Cainan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methusaleh, Lamech, and Noah.
Skipping over to Genesis 11-10, we see the continuation of the geneology. The number of men listed is 10 : Shem (Noah's son), Arphaxad, Salah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, and Abram.
It says later in The Bible that there were 14 generations between Adam and Abraham, 14 between Abraham and David, and 14 between David and the exile.

If you count Shem, 10 generations to Abraham.

The Queen of England (Queen Elizabeth II) has a lineage that goes back to Noah—which is fairly well-known based on the six Anglo-Saxon royal houses (Anglia, Kent, Lindsey, Mercia, Northumbria, and Wessex). Noah was the 10th generation from Adam. This works out that in some families, it could be less than 80 generations (some families live long and procreate late). For other families, it could by much more.

Jesus Christ was related to Cain only by the fact that Jesus was related to Adam (Humanly speaking) and Cain was a son of Adam. But Cain was not the family line that Jesus came from. Jesus came from the line of Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve. Several thousands of years separated the two generations.

Differ in Mark and Luke, meaning even accepting the genealogy as accurate, it's hard to say.
Why did it take 42 generations for Jesus to come?
In Matthew's Gospel, there were: 14 generations from Abraham to David, inclusive; 14 generations from David to Josiah, inclusive; and 14 generations from Jechonias (son of Josiah) to Jesus, through Joseph. This is actually 41 generations from Abraham to Jesus, since David is counted twice. In Luke's Gospel, there were: 77 generations from Adam to Jesus, through Joseph. This included 55 generations from Abraham to Jesus, once again inclusive. Luke's Gospel had great men occur in multiples of 7 generations starting from Adam, with: Enoch at 7; Abraham at 21; David at 35; Jesus at 77. The reason it took exactly this many generations in each case was that each of the authors wished in his own way to prove, through numerology, that Jesus was destined for greatness. The number 7 was regarded as associated with greatness, and so therefore was the number 14. To do this, Matthew had to ignore three kings in the Old Testament and to count David twice. Using a different, but parallel genealogy, Luke had to insert his own fictitious people into the Old Testament list: Kainan at 13; Admin at 28.

How many generations was David removed from the messiah?
------------------------Matthew demonstrated that there were 14 generations: from Abraham to David; from David to Josiah; from Josiah to Jesus - a total of 27 generations from David to Joseph, inclusive. To do this, he had to ignore 3 kings in the Old Testament and have David in the preceding (as 14) and following (as 1) groups, but not so Josiah.Luke had great men occur in multiples of 7 generations starting from Adam, with: Enoch at 7; Abraham at 21; David at 35; Jesus at 77 - a total of 35 generations from David to Joseph, inclusive. To do this, he had to insert his own fictitious people into the Old Testament list prior to David: Kainan at 13; Admin at 28.
