1 Dit nu zijn de geboorten van Noachs zonen: Sem, Cham, en Jafeth; en hun werden zonen geboren na den vloed.

2 De zonen van Jafeth zijn: Gomer, en Magog, en Madai, en Javan, en Tubal, en Mesech, en Thiras.

3 En de zonen van Gomer zijn: Askenaz, en Rifath, en Togarma.

4 En de zonen van Javan zijn: Elisa, en Tarsis; de Chittieten en Dodanieten.

5 Van dezen zijn verdeeld de eilanden der volken in hun landschappen, elk naar zijn spraak, naar hun huisgezinnen, onder hun volken.

6 En de zonen van Cham zijn: Cusch en Mitsraim, en Put, en Kanaan.

7 En de zonen van Cusch zijn: Seba en Havila, en Sabta, en Raema, en Sabtecha. En de zonen van Raema zijn: Scheba en Dedan.

8 En Cusch gewon Nimrod; deze begon geweldig te zijn op de aarde.

9 Hij was een geweldig jager voor het aangezicht des HEEREN; daarom wordt gezegd: Gelijk Nimrod, een geweldig jager voor het aangezicht des HEEREN.

10 En het beginsel zijns rijks was Babel, en Erech, en Accad, en Calne in het land Sinear.

11 Uit ditzelve land is Assur uitgegaan, en heeft gebouwd Nineve, en Rehoboth, Ir, en Kalach.

12 En Resen, tussen Nineve en tussen Kalach; deze is die grote stad.

13 En Mitsraim gewon de Ludieten, en de Anamieten, en de Lehabieten, en de Naftuchieten,

14 En de Pathrusieten, en de Casluchieten, van waar de Filistijnen uitgekomen zijn, en de Caftorieten.

15 En Kanaan gewon Sidon, zijn eerstgeborene, en Heth,

16 En de Jesubiet, en de Amoriet, en de Girgasiet,

17 En de Hivviet, en de Arkiet, en de Siniet,

18 En de Arvadiet, en de Tsemariet, en de Hamathiet; en daarna zijn de huisgezinnen der Kanaanieten verspreid.

19 En de landpale der Kanaanieten was van Sidon, daar gij gaat naar Gerar tot Gaza toe; daar gij gaat naar Sodom en Gomorra, en Adama, en Zoboim, tot Lasa toe.

20 Deze zijn zonen van Cham, naar hun huisgezinnen, naar hun spraken, in hun landschappen, in hun volken.

21 Voorts zijn Sem zonen geboren; dezelve is ook de vader aller zonen van Heber, broeder van Jafeth, den grootste.

22 Sems zonen waren Elam, en Assur, en Arfachsad, en Lud, en Aram.

23 En Arams zonen waren Uz, en Hul, en Gether, en Maz.

24 En Arfachsad gewon Selah, en Selah gewon Heber.

25 En Heber werden twee zonen geboren; des enen naam was Peleg; want in zijn dagen is de aarde verdeeld; en zijns broeders naam was Joktan.

26 En Joktan gewon Almodad, en selef, en Hatsarmaveth, en Jarach,

27 En Hadoram, en Usal, en Dikla,

28 En Obal, en Abimael, en Scheba,

29 En Ofir, en Havila, en Jobab; deze allen waren zonen van Joktan.

30 En hun woning was van Mescha af, daar gij gaat naar Sefar, het gebergte van het oosten.

31 Deze zijn zonen van Sem, naar hun huisgezinnen, naar hun spraken, in hun landschappen, naar hun volken.

32 Deze zijn de huisgezinnen der zonen van Noach, naar hun geboorten, in hun volken; en van dezen zijn de volken op de aarde verdeeld na den vloed.

1250. That 'the mountain of the east' means charity, indeed charity from the Lord, is clear from the meaning of 'a mountain' in the Word as love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, as shown already in 795. And that 'the east' means the Lord, and consequently the celestial things of love and charity, see again what has appeared already in 101, and also in the following places: In Ezekiel,

The cherubs lifted up their wings. The glory of Jehovah went up from over the midst of the city and stood upon the mountain, which is on the east of the city. Ezekiel 11:22-23.

Here 'the mountain which is on the east' means nothing other than the celestial manifestation of the love and the charity that is the Lord's, for it is said that 'the glory of Jehovah stood there'. In the same prophet,

He brought me to the gate, to the gate facing the way of the east. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. Ezekiel 43:1-2.

Here 'the east' has a similar meaning.

[2] In the same prophet,

And he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces the east, and it was shut. And Jehovah said to me, This gate shall be shut and not opened, and no man shall enter by it; but Jehovah, the God of Israel, will enter by it. Ezekiel 44:1-2.

Here similarly 'the east' stands for the celestial manifestation of the love that is the Lord's alone. In the same prophet,

When the prince makes a freewill offering, a burnt offering, and peace offerings, as a freewill offering to Jehovah, one shall open for him the gate facing towards the east, and he shall make his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he shall do on the sabbath day Ezekiel 46:12.

Here similarly it stands for that which is celestial, which essentially is love to the Lord.

[3] In the same prophet,

He brought me back to the door of the house, and behold, waters were issuing out from below the threshold of the house towards the east, for the house faced east. Ezekiel 47:1, 8.

This refers to the new Jerusalem 'The east' stands for the Lord, and so for the celestial manifestation of love, while 'waters' means things that are spiritual. Here the same is meant by 'the mountain of the east'. Furthermore those who dwelt in Syria were called 'the sons of the east', who will in the Lord's Divine mercy be spoken of later on.

1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

16 the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

17 the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

21 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

30 Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
