Now
these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons
were born to them after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth:
Gomer,
and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer:
Ashkenaz,
and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 And the sons of Javan:
Elishah,
and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5
By these the isles of the Gentiles were divided in their lands;
every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 And the sons of Ham:
Cush,
and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush:
Seba, and
Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah.
And the
sons of Raamah:
Sheba,
and Dedan.
8 And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one
in the earth. 9 He
was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore,
it is said, “Even as Nimrod, the mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech,
and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh,
and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 12
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; the same is a great city.
13 And Mizraim fathered
Ludim,
and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came
Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15 And Canaan fathered
Sidon
his first born, and Heth, 16 and
the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 18 and the Arvadite, and the
Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanites were
spread abroad.
19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you
come to Gerar, to Gaza; as you go, to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and
Zeboim, even to Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after
their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
21 Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber,
the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him, children were born.
22 The
children of Shem:
Elam,
and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And the
children of Aram:
Uz, and
Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And Arphaxad fathered Salah, and Salah fathered Eber.
25 And to
Eber were born two sons:
The name
of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name
was Joktan.
26 And
Joktan fathered
Almodad,
and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 28 and Obal, and Abimael, and
Sheba, 29 and Ophir,
and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar,
a mountain of the east.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after
their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their
generations, in their nations; and by these the nations were divided in the
earth after the flood.
