¹ And these [are] births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and born to them are sons after the deluge.

² `Sons of Japheth [are] Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

³ And sons of Gomer [are] Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴ And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

⁵ By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.

⁶ And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

⁷ And sons of Cush [are] Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah [are] Sheba and Dedan.

⁸ And Cush hath begotten Nimrod;

⁹ he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, `As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.'

¹⁰ And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;

¹¹ from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,

¹² and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city.

¹³ And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,

¹⁴ and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out Philistim,) and the Caphtorim.

¹⁵ And Canaan hath begotten 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 afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered.

¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, [in] thy coming towards Gerar, unto Gaza; [in] thy coming towards Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, unto Lasha.

²⁰ These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

²¹ As to Shem, father of all sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the elder, he hath also begotten:

²² Sons of Shem [are] Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

²³ And sons of Aram [are] Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

²⁴ And Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten Eber.

²⁵ And to Eber have two sons been born; the name of the one [is] Peleg (for in his days hath the earth been divided,) and his brother's name [is] Joktan.

²⁶ And Joktan hath begotten 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 [are] sons of Joktan;

³⁰ and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east.

³¹ These [are] sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations.

³² These [are] families of the sons of Noah, by their births, in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in the earth after the deluge.

¹ After these things hath the word of Jehovah been unto Abram in a vision, saying, `Fear not, Abram, I [am] a shield to thee, thy reward [is] exceeding great.'

² And Abram saith, `Lord Jehovah, what dost Thou give to me, and I am going childless? and an acquired son in my house is Demmesek Eliezer.'

³ And Abram saith, `Lo, to me Thou hast not given seed, and lo, a domestic doth heir me.'

⁴ And lo, the word of Jehovah [is] unto him, saying, `This [one] doth not heir thee; but he who cometh out from thy bowels, he doth heir thee;'

⁵ and He bringeth him out without, and saith, `Look attentively, I pray thee, towards the heavens, and count the stars, if thou art able to count them;' and He saith to him, `Thus is thy seed.'

⁶ And he hath believed in Jehovah, and He reckoneth it to him -- righteousness.

⁷ And He saith unto him, `I [am] Jehovah who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give to thee this land to possess it;'

⁸ and he saith, `Lord Jehovah, whereby do I know that I possess it?'

⁹ And He saith unto him, `Take for Me a heifer of three years, and a she-goat of three years, and a ram of three years, and a turtle-dove, and a young bird;'

¹⁰ and he taketh to him all these, and separateth them in the midst, and putteth each piece over against its fellow, but the bird he hath not divided;

¹¹ and the ravenous birds come down upon the carcases, and Abram causeth them to turn back.

¹² And the sun is about to go in, and deep sleep hath fallen upon Abram, and lo, a terror of great darkness is falling upon him;

¹³ and He saith to Abram, `knowing -- know that thy seed is a sojourner in a land not theirs, and they have served them, and they have afflicted them four hundred years,

¹⁴ and the nation also whom they serve I judge, and after this they go out with great substance;

¹⁵ and thou -- thou comest in unto thy fathers in peace; thou art buried in a good old age;

¹⁶ and the fourth generation doth turn back hither, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.'

¹⁷ And it cometh to pass -- the sun hath gone in, and thick darkness hath been -- and lo, a furnace of smoke, and a lamp of fire, which hath passed over between those pieces.

¹⁸ In that day hath Jehovah made with Abram a covenant, saying, `To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Phrat,

¹⁹ with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,

²⁰ and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,

²¹ and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.'
