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.

1205. The Jebusite, Amorite, Girgashite, Hivite, Arkite, Sinite, Arvadite, Zemarite, and Hamathite, were so many nations, and they also signify so many different idolatries. That idolatries were signified by these nations, is evident from many places in the Word, for they were the inhabitants of the land of Canaan who on account of their idolatries were cast out, and in part extirpated. But in the internal sense of the Word these nations are not signified, but the idolatries themselves in general, with whomsoever and wheresoever they are; specifically, among the Jews. For they who make worship consist merely in externals, and are entirely unwilling to know internal things, and when instructed reject them, are very prone to all these idolatries, as is clearly manifest from the Jews. In internal worship alone is there a bond that withholds man from idolatry; and when this ceases, there is nothing that restrains. There are however interior idolatries, as well as external ones. They who have external worship without internal rush into external idolatries; they who have external worship whose interiors are unclean rush into interior idolatries; and both these kinds of idolatries are signified by these nations. Interior idolatries are so many falsities and cupidities which men love and adore, and which are thus in place of the gods and idols that existed among the Gentiles. But what particular kinds of falsities and cupidities are those which are adored, and which are signified by these nations-the Jebusite, Amorite, Girgashite, Hivite, Arkite, Sinite, Arvadite, Zemarite, and Hamathite—it would take too long to explain here; but of the Lord’s Divine mercy it will be told in the places where their names occur.
