Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah , [namely], of Shem , Ham , and Japheth : and unto them were sons born 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
Of these were the isles of the nations 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 Put , and Canaan .
7
And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah , and Sabtah, and Raamah , and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah : Sheba , and Dedan .
8
And Cush begat Nimrod : he began to be a mighty one in the earth .
9
He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah : wherefore it is said , Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah .
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 he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh , and Rehoboth -ir, and Calah ,
12
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city ).
13
And Mizraim begat Ludim , and Anamim, and Lehabim , and Naphtuhim ,
14
and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines ), and Caphtorim.
15
And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born , and Heth ,
16
and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
17
and the Hivite , and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18
and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite : and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.
19
And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou goest toward Gerar , unto Gaza ; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim , unto Lasha .
20
These are the sons of Ham , after their families , after their tongues , in their lands , in their nations .
21
And unto 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 , and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud , and Aram .
23
And the sons of Aram : Uz , and Hul , and Gether , and Mash .
24
And Arpachshad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber .
25
And unto Eber were born two sons: The name of the one was Peleg . For in his days was the earth divided. And his brother 's name was Joktan .
26
And Joktan begat 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 thou goest toward Sephar , the 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 of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
