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.

1159. Everyone according to his tongue, according to their families, as to their nations. That this signifies that these were according to the genius of each; “according to their tongue,” according to the opinion of each; “according to their families,” according to their uprightness; and “as to their nations,” as regards both in general, may be seen from the signification of “tongue,” of “families,” and of “nations,” in the Word; concerning which of the Lord’s Divine mercy hereafter. That “tongue,” or “language,” in the internal sense, signifies opinion, thus principles and persuasions, is because there is a correspondence of the tongue with the intellectual part of man, or with his thought, like that of an effect with its cause. Such also is not only the influx of a man’s thoughts into the movements of the tongue in speaking, but also the influx of heaven, concerning which some things from experience, by the Divine mercy of the Lord, will be told elsewhere.

[2] That “families” in the internal sense signify uprightness, and also charity and love, comes from the fact that in the heavens all things which are of mutual love are circumstanced as are relationships by blood and by marriage, thus as families (see n. 685). In the Word therefore the things which pertain to love or charity are expressed by “houses,” and also by “families,” which it is unnecessary here to stop to confirm. (That such is the signification of a “house” may be seen at n. 710)

[3] That “nations” here signify both, in general, is evident from the signification of a nation, or nations, in the Word. In a good sense “nations” signify things of the new will and understanding, consequently the goods of love and truths of faith; but in the opposite sense they signify evils and falsities; and in like manner so also do “houses,” “families,” and “tongues,” as may be confirmed by very many passages from the Word. The reason is that the Most Ancient Church was distinguished into houses, families, and nations. A married pair with their children, and their menservants and maidservants, constituted a house; a number of houses that were not far distant from one another constituted a family; and a number of families, a nation. Hence “nations” signified all the families taken together in the aggregate. It is much the same in heaven; but the relation of all there is according to love and faith toward the Lord (see n. 685).

[4] From this then comes the signification of “nations” in the internal sense, as a general term comprising things of both the will and the understanding, or what is the same of both love and faith; but relatively to the families and houses of which they are composed. (See also what has been said before concerning this subject, n. 470, 471, 483.) It is evident from these considerations that “nations” signify both [opinion and uprightness] in general; and that “everyone according to his tongue, according to their families, as to their nations,” signifies according to the genius of each man, family, and nation, to whom worship was derived from the Ancient Church.
