¹ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: these are the sons which they had after the great flow of waters

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, the Kittim and the Dodanim.

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 was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth.

⁹ He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman.

¹⁰ And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

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; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions;

¹⁹ Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.

²⁰ All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.
