Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah , 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
By these were the isles of the Gentiles 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 Sabtecha: 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 the LORD : wherefore 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 builded Nineveh , and the city Rehoboth , and Calah ,
12
And Resen between Nineveh and Calah : the same is a great city .
13
And Mizraim begat Ludim , and Anamim, and Lehabim , and Naphtuhim ,
14
And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim ,) and Caphtorim.
15
And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn , 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 were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
19
And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar , unto Gaza ; as thou goest , unto Sodom , and Gomorrah , and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha .
20
These are the sons of Ham , after their families , after their tongues , in their countries, and in their nations .
21
Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber , the brother of Japheth the elder , even to him were children 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 begat Salah ; and Salah begat Eber .
25
And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of 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 Hazar-maveth, 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 unto Sephar a mount 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 were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
