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.
