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 Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.

² I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.

³ I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you."

⁴ So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.

⁵ Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls whom they had gotten in Haran, and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. Into the land of Canaan they came.

⁶ Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanite was then in the land.

⁷ Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, "I will give this land to your seed." He built an altar there to Yahweh, who appeared to him.

⁸ He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh.

⁹ Abram traveled, going on still toward the South.

¹⁰ There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.

¹¹ It happened, when he had come near to enter Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.

¹² It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife.' They will kill me, but they will save you alive.

¹³ Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you."

¹⁴ It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

¹⁵ The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

¹⁶ He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

¹⁷ Yahweh plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

¹⁸ Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this that you have done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife?

¹⁹ Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way."

²⁰ Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they brought him on the way with his wife and all that he had.
