1 Και αυται ειναι αι γενεαλογιαι των υιων του Νωε, Σημ, Χαμ και Ιαφεθ· και εγεννηθησαν εις αυτους υιοι μετα τον κατακλυσμον.

2 Οι υιοι του Ιαφεθ ησαν Γομερ, και Μαγωγ, και Μαδαι, και Ιαυαν, και Θουβαλ, και Μεσεχ, και Θειρας.

3 Και οι υιοι του Γομερ, Ασχεναζ, και Ριφαθ, και Θωγαρμα.

4 Και οι υιοι του Ιαυαν, Ελεισα, και Θαρσεις, Κιττειμ, και Δωδανειμ.

5 Εκ τουτων εμοιρασθησαν αι νησοι των εθνων εις τους τοπους αυτων· εκαστου κατα την γλωσσαν αυτου, κατα τας φυλας αυτων, εις τα εθνη αυτων.

6 Και οι υιοι του Χαμ, Χους, και Μισραιμ, και Φουθ, και Χανααν.

7 Και οι υιοι του Χους, Σεβα, και Αβιλα, και Σαβθα, και Ρααμα, και Σαβθεκα· και οι υιοι του Ρααμα, Σεβα, και Δαιδαν.

8 Και ο Χους εγεννησε τον Νεβρωδ· ουτος ηρχισε να ηναι ισχυρος επι της γης·

9 αυτος ητο ισχυρος κυνηγος ενωπιον του Κυριου· δια τουτο λεγεται, Ως Νεβρωδ, ισχυρος κυνηγος ενωπιον του Κυριου·

10 και η αρχη της βασιλειας αυτου εσταθη Βαβυλων, και Ερεχ, και Αχαδ, και Χαλνε, εν τη γη Σεννααρ.

11 Εκ της γης εκεινης εξηλθεν ο Ασσουρ, και ωκοδομησε την Νινευη, και την πολιν Ρεχωβωθ, και την Χαλαχ,

12 και την Ρεσεν μεταξυ της Νινευη και της Χαλαχ· αυτη ειναι η πολις η μεγαλη.

13 Και ο Μισραιμ εγεννησε τους Λουδειμ, και τους Αναμειμ, και τους Λεαβειμ, και τους Ναφθουχειμ,

14 και τους Πατρουσειμ, και τους Χασλουχειμ, εκ των οποιων εξηλθον οι Φιλισταιοι, και τους Χαφθορειμ.

15 Και ο Χανααν εγεννησε τον Σιδωνα, πρωτοτοκον αυτου, και τον Χετταιον,

16 και τον Ιεβουσαιον, και τον Αμορραιον, και τον Γεργεσαιον,

17 και τον Ευαιον, και τον Αρουχαιον, και τον Ασενναιον,

18 και τον Αρβαδιον, και τον Σαμαραιον, και τον Αμαθαιον. Και μετα τουτο διεσπαρησαν αι φυλαι των Χαναναιων.

19 Και ησαν τα ορια των Χαναναιων απο Σιδωνος, καθως υπαγει τις εις Γεραρα, εως Γαζης, και καθως υπαγει τις εις Σοδομα και Γομορρα, και Αδαμα, και Σεβωειμ, εως Λασα.

20 Ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι του Χαμ, κατα τας φυλας αυτων, κατα τας γλωσσας αυτων, εις τους τοπους αυτων, εις τα εθνη αυτων.

21 Και εις τον Σημ, τον πατερα παντων των υιων του Εβερ, τον αδελφον Ιαφεθ του μεγαλητερου, εγεννηθησαν και εις αυτον υιοι.

22 Υιοι του Σημ ησαν Ελαμ, και Ασσουρ, και Αρφαξαδ, και Λουδ, και Αραμ.

23 Και οι υιοι του Αραμ, Ουζ, και Ουλ, και Γεθερ, και Μας.

24 Και ο Αρφαξαδ εγεννησε τον Σαλα· και ο Σαλα εγεννησε τον Εβερ.

25 Και εις τον Εβερ εγεννηθησαν δυο υιοι· το ονομα του ενος, Φαλεγ· διοτι εν ταις ημεραις αυτου διεμερισθη η γη· και το ονομα του αδελφου αυτου, Ιοκταν.

26 Και ο Ιοκταν εγεννησε τον Αλμωδαδ, και τον Σαλεφ, και τον Ασαρμαβεθ, και τον Ιαραχ,

27 και τον Αδωραμ, και τον Ουζαλ, και τον Δικλα,

28 και τον Οβαλ, και τον Αβιμαηλ, και τον Σεβα,

29 και τον Οφειρ, και τον Αβιλα, και τον Ιωβαβ· παντες ουτοι ησαν υιοι του Ιοκταν.

30 Και η κατοικια αυτων ητο απο Μησα, καθως υπαγει τις εις Σεφαρα, ορος της Ανατολης.

31 Ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι του Σημ, κατα τας φυλας αυτων, κατα τας γλωσσας αυτων, εις τους τοπους αυτων, κατα τα εθνη αυτων.

32 Αυται ειναι αι φυλαι των υιων του Νωε, κατα τας γενεας αυτων, εις τα εθνη αυτων· και εκ τουτων διεσπαρησαν τα εθνη επι της γης μετα τον κατακλυσμον.

1083. That 'Shem' means the internal Church, 'Japheth' the external Church corresponding to it, has been discussed already. Where the Church exists it must necessarily possess an internal aspect and an external; for a human being, who is the Church, is both internal and external. Before he becomes the Church, that is, before he has been regenerated, he is engrossed in things that are external. But when undergoing regeneration he is led away from external things - or rather by means of external things - towards internal, as stated and shown already. But once he has been regenerated, all things that belong to the internal man are encompassed in the things that are external. Thus every Church must necessarily be internal and external, as the Ancient Church was, and as the Christian Church is today.

[2] The internal aspects of the Ancient Church comprised all things that belong to charity and to faith deriving from charity, all humbleness, all worship of the Lord that stems from charity, every good affection towards the neighbour, and other aspects like these. The external features of that Church were sacrifices, drink-offerings, and much else, all of which, by means of representation, were directed to the Lord and had regard to Him. Consequently things of an internal nature existed within those that were external and made a single Church. The internal features of the Christian Church are just the same as the internal features of the Ancient Church, but different externals have ensued. That is to say, instead of sacrifices and the like, [the Christian Church] has sacraments which in a similar way have regard to the Lord. So in the Christian Church also things that are internal and those that are external make one.

[3] The Ancient Church did not differ in the slightest from the Christian Church as to its internal features, only as to its external. Worship of the Lord that stems from charity cannot possibly be different, no matter how much externals may vary. And since, as stated, no Church can exist unless there is that which is internal and that which is external, the internal without the external would be something unbounded if it were not encompassed by something external. For mankind is such, and indeed the vast majority, that it does not know what the internal man is, and what belongs to the internal man. Without external worship therefore, mankind would have no knowledge at all of what is holy.

[4] As long as these people have charity and consequently conscience, they have internal worship residing with them in their external worship. For the Lord residing with them is at work in charity and in conscience, and He causes all their worship to partake of what is internal. It is otherwise with people who have no charity and consequently no conscience. They are indeed able to have worship in externals, yet it is separated from internal worship, as their faith is separated from charity. Such worship is called 'Canaan' and such faith 'Ham'. And because such worship is the product of separated faith, Ham is called 'the father of Canaan'.
