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.

1241. As to Eber being the first institutor of the second Ancient Church, by whom this church is signified, the case is this. The first Ancient Church, so widely spread as has been stated, especially through the Asiatic world, in process of time degenerated-as is usual with all churches everywhere-and was adulterated by innovators, as to both its external and its internal worship, and this in various places; and especially by the fact that all things significative and representative which the Ancient Church had from the mouth of the Most Ancient Church-which all bore reference to the Lord and His Kingdom-were turned into things idolatrous, and by some of the nations into things magical. That the whole church might not go to ruin, it was permitted by the Lord that significative and representative worship should be somewhere reestablished, which was done by Eber. This worship consisted chiefly in externals. The externals of worship, in addition to the priestly offices and what pertained to them, were high places, groves, statues, anointings, and many other things called statutes. The internals of worship were doctrinal things handed down from the time before the flood, especially from those who were called “Enoch,” who collected the perceptive findings of the Most Ancient Church, and made doctrinal things therefrom. These were their Word; and from these internals and those externals came the worship of this church, a worship set up anew by Eber, but added to, and also changed. Especially did they begin to exalt sacrifices above other rites. In the true Ancient Church sacrifices had been unknown, except among some of the descendants of Ham and Canaan, who were idolaters, and with whom they were permitted to prevent them from sacrificing their sons and daughters. From all this the quality of this second Ancient Church, instituted by Eber and continued among his posterity who were called the Hebrew nation, is manifest.
