1 Ito nga ang sali't saling lahi ng mga anak ni Noe: si Sem, si Cham, at si Japhet: at sila'y nangagkaanak pagkaraan ng bahang gumunaw.

2 Ang mga anak ni Japhet; si Gomer, at si Magog, at si Madai, at si Javan, at si Tubal, at si Meshech, at si Tiras.

3 At ang mga anak ni Gomer: si Azkenaz, at si Rifat, at si Togarma.

4 At ang mga anak ni Javan; si Elisa, at si Tarsis, si Cittim, at si Dodanim.

5 Sa mga ito nangabahagi ang mga pulo ng mga bansa, sa kanilang mga lupain, na bawa't isa'y ayon sa kanikaniyang wika; ayon sa kanikanilang angkan, sa kanikanilang bansa.

6 At ang mga anak ni Cham; si Cush, at si Mizraim, at si Phut, at si Canaan.

7 At ang mga anak ni Cush; si Seba, at si Havila, at si Sabta, at si Raama, at si Sabtech: at ang mga anak ni Raama; si Sheba, at si Dedan.

8 At naging anak ni Cush si Nimrod: siyang napasimulang maging makapangyarihan sa lupa.

9 Siya'y makapangyarihang mangangaso sa harap ng Panginoon kaya't karaniwang sabihin: Gaya ni Nimrod, na makapangyarihang mangangaso sa harap ng Panginoon.

10 At ang pinagsimulan ng kaniyang kaharian ay ang Babel, at ang Erech, at ang Accad, at ang Calneh, sa lupain ng Shinar.

11 Buhat sa lupaing yaon ay napasa Asiria at itinayo ang Ninive, at ang Rehobotir, at ang Calah,

12 At ang Ressen, sa pagitan ng Ninive at ng Calah (na siyang malaking bayan).

13 At naging anak ni Mizraim si Ludim, at si Anamim, at si Lehabim, at si Naphtuhim.

14 At si Pathrusim, at si Casluim (na siyang pinagbuhatan ng mga Filisteo), at ang Caphtorim.

15 At naging anak ni Canaan si Sidon, na kaniyang panganay, at si Heth.

16 At ang Jebuseo, at ang Amorrheo, at ang Gergeseo;

17 At ang Heveo, at ang Araceo, at ang Sineo.

18 At ang Aradio, at ang Samareo at ang Amatheo: at pagkatapos ay kumalat ang mga angkan ng Cananeo.

19 At ang hangganan ng Cananeo ay mula sa Sidon, kung patungo sa Gerar, hanggang sa Gaza; kung patungo sa Sodoma at Gomorra, at Adma, at Zeboim hanggang Lasa.

20 Ito ang mga anak ni Cham, ayon sa kanikanilang angkan, ayon sa kanikanilang wika, sa kanikanilang mga lupain, sa kanilang mga bansa.

21 At nagkaroon din naman ng mga anak si Sem, na ama ng lahat ng mga anak ni Heber, na siya ring lalong matandang kapatid ni Japhet.

22 Ang mga anak ni Sem; si Elam, at si Assur, at si Arphaxad, at si Lud, at si Aram.

23 At ang mga anak ni Aram: si Uz, at si Hul, at si Gether, at si Mas.

24 At naging anak ni Arphaxad si Sala; at naging anak ni Sala si Heber.

25 At nagkaanak si Heber ng dalawang lalake; ang pangalan ng una'y Peleg; sapagka't sa mga araw niya'y nahati ang lupa; at ang pangalan ng kaniyang kapatid ay Joctan.

26 At naging anak ni Joctan si Almodad, at si Sheleph, at si Hazarmavet, at si Jerah;

27 At si Hadoram, at si Uzal, at si Dicla.

28 At si Obal, at si Abimael, at si Sheba.

29 At si Ophir, at si Havila, at si Jobad: lahat ng ito ay mga naging anak ni Joctan.

30 At ang naging tahanan nila ay mula sa Mesa, kung patungo sa Sephar, na siyang bundok sa silanganan.

31 Ito ang mga anak ni Sem, ayon sa kanikanilang angkan, ayon sa kanikanilang wika, sa kanikanilang lupain, ayon sa kanikanilang bansa.

32 Ito ang mga angkan ng mga anak ni Noe, ayon sa kanikanilang lahi, sa kanikanilang bansa: at sa mga ito nangabahagi ang mga bansa pagkatapos ng bahang gumunaw.

2864. Uz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram; and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. That these signify various religions and their modes of worship, is evident from the fact that, as before said, names signify actual things. The things which these names signify are religions and their modes of worship, as also are signified by the names which are found in Genesis 5 and 11. But what each name and each son here signifies, cannot so well be told, as they are merely named. Uz and Buz are also named in Jeremiah (25:20, 23), but among several other names. Uz is also found in Lamentations 4:21; Job 1:1; (concerning whom see Genesis 10:23, n. 1233, 1234).

Genesis 22

Study

   

1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

2 He said, "Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."

3 Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.

4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.

5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will worship, and come back to you."

6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.

7 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

8 Abraham said, "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they both went together.

9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.

10 Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.

11 The angel of Yahweh called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

12 He said, "Don't lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."

13 Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

14 Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide. As it is said to this day, "On Yahweh's mountain, it will be provided."

15 The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,

16 and said, "I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

17 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your seed greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.

18 In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."

19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.

20 It happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,

22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."

23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
