1 A ovo su plemena sinova Nojevih, Sima, Hama i Jafeta, kojima se rodiše sinovi posle potopa.

2 Sinovi Jafetovi: Gomer i Magog i Madaj i Javan i Tovel i Meseh i Tiras.

3 A sinovi Gomerovi: Ashenas i Rifat i Togarma.

4 A sinovi Javanovi: Elisa i Tarsis, Kitim i Dodanim.

5 Od njih se razdeliše ostrva narodna na zemljama svojim, svako po jeziku svom i po porodicama svojim, u narodima svojim.

6 A sinovi Hamovi: Hus i Mesrain, Fud i Hanan.

7 A sinovi Husovi: Sava i Avila i Savata i Regma i Savataka. A sinovi Regmini: Sava i Dedan.

8 Hus rodi i Nevroda; a on prvi bi silan na zemlji;

9 Beše dobar lovac pred Gospodom; zato se kaže: Dobar lovac pred Gospodom kao Nevrod.

10 A početak carstvu njegovom beše Vavilon i Oreh i Arhad i Halani u zemlji Senaru.

11 Iz te zemlje izađe Asur, i sazida Nineviju i Rovot grad i Halah,

12 I Dasem između Ninevije i Halaha; to je grad velik.

13 A Mesrain rodi Ludeje i Enemeje i Laveje i Neftaleje,

14 I Patroseje i Hasmeje, odakle izađoše Filisteji i Gaftoreji.

15 A Hanan rodi Sidona, prvenca svog, i Heta,

16 I Jevuseja i Amoreja i Gergeseja,

17 I Eveja i Arukeja i Aseneja,

18 I Arvadeja i Samareja i Amateja. A posle se rasejaše plemena hananejska.

19 I behu međe hananejske od Sidona idući na Gerar pa do Gaze, i idući na Sodom i Gomor i Adamu i Sevojim pa do Dasa.

20 To su sinovi Hamovi po porodicama svojim i po jezicima svojim, u zemljama svojim i u narodima svojim.

21 I Simu rodiše se sinovi, najstarijem bratu Jafetovom, ocu svih sinova Everovih.

22 Sinovi Simovi behu: Elam i Asur i Arfaksad i Lud i Aram.

23 A sinovi Aramovi: Uz i Ul i Gater i Mas.

24 A Arfaksad rodi Salu, a Sala rodi Evera.

25 A Everu se rodiše dva sina: jednom beše ime Falek, jer se u njegovo vreme razdeli zemlja, a bratu njegovom ime Jektan.

26 A Jektan rodi Elmodada i Saleta i Sarmota i Jaraha,

27 I Odora i Evila i Deklu,

28 I Evala i Avimaila i Savu,

29 I Ufira i Evilu i Jovava; ti svi behu sinovi Jektanovi.

30 I življahu od Mase, kako se ide na Safir do gora istočnih.

31 To su sinovi Simovi po porodicama svojim i po jezicima svojim, u zemljama svojim i u narodima svojim.

32 To su porodice sinova Nojevih po plemenima svojim, u narodima svojim; i od njih se razdeliše narodi po zemlji posle potopa.

1183. What is signified in particular by “Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar,” cannot so well be seen, because they are not mentioned in other parts of the Word, except Calneh (in Amos 6:2) but they are varieties of such worship. But as regards the land of Shinar in which these worships were, that external worship wherein is what is profane is signified by it in the Word is evident from its signification in the following chapter (Genesis 11:2), and also in Zechariah 5:11 and, especially in Daniel, where these words occur:

The Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel, with part of the vessels of the house of God, and he carried them into the land of Shinar, into the house of his god and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god (Daniel 1:2),

by which is signified that holy things were profaned: “the vessels of the house of God,” are holy things; “the house of the god of Babel, in the land of Shinar,” is profane things, into which the holy things were brought. Although these incidents are historical, yet they involve these arcana, as do all the historical facts of the Word. The same is further evident from the profanation of the same vessels (Daniel 5:3-5). If sacred things had not been represented by them, no such events would have taken place.
