[1] Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of
Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood. [2] The
sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. [3]
The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. [4] The sons of Javan:
Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. [5] Of these were the isles of the
nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their
families, in their nations. [6] The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and
Canaan. [7] The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca.
The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. [8] Cush became the father of Nimrod:
he began to be a mighty one in the earth. [9] He was a mighty hunter before
Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."
[10] The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in
the land of Shinar. [11] Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and
built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, [12] and Resen between Nineveh and Calah
(the same is the great city). [13] Mizraim became the father of Ludim,
Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, [14] Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines
descended from), and Caphtorim. [15] Canaan became the father of Sidon (his
firstborn), Heth, [16] the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite, [17] the
Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite, [18] the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the
Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
[19] The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar,
to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.
[20] These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their
languages, in their lands, in their nations. [21] To Shem, the father of
all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were
children born. [22] The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and
Aram. [23] The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. [24] Arpachshad
became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber. [25] To Eber
were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the
earth divided. His brother`s name was Joktan. [26] Joktan became the father
of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, [27] Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, [28]
Obal, Abimael, Sheba, [29] Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the
sons of Joktan. [30] Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward
Sephar, the mountain of the east. [31] These are the sons of Shem, after
their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.
[32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations,
in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the
flood.
