1 Και αυται ειναι αι γενεαλογιαι των υιων του Νωε, Σημ, Χαμ και Ιαφεθ· και εγεννηθησαν εις αυτους υιοι μετα τον κατακλυσμον.

2 Οι υιοι του Ιαφεθ ησαν Γομερ, και Μαγωγ, και Μαδαι, και Ιαυαν, και Θουβαλ, και Μεσεχ, και Θειρας.

3 Και οι υιοι του Γομερ, Ασχεναζ, και Ριφαθ, και Θωγαρμα.

4 Και οι υιοι του Ιαυαν, Ελεισα, και Θαρσεις, Κιττειμ, και Δωδανειμ.

5 Εκ τουτων εμοιρασθησαν αι νησοι των εθνων εις τους τοπους αυτων· εκαστου κατα την γλωσσαν αυτου, κατα τας φυλας αυτων, εις τα εθνη αυτων.

6 Και οι υιοι του Χαμ, Χους, και Μισραιμ, και Φουθ, και Χανααν.

7 Και οι υιοι του Χους, Σεβα, και Αβιλα, και Σαβθα, και Ρααμα, και Σαβθεκα· και οι υιοι του Ρααμα, Σεβα, και Δαιδαν.

8 Και ο Χους εγεννησε τον Νεβρωδ· ουτος ηρχισε να ηναι ισχυρος επι της γης·

9 αυτος ητο ισχυρος κυνηγος ενωπιον του Κυριου· δια τουτο λεγεται, Ως Νεβρωδ, ισχυρος κυνηγος ενωπιον του Κυριου·

10 και η αρχη της βασιλειας αυτου εσταθη Βαβυλων, και Ερεχ, και Αχαδ, και Χαλνε, εν τη γη Σεννααρ.

11 Εκ της γης εκεινης εξηλθεν ο Ασσουρ, και ωκοδομησε την Νινευη, και την πολιν Ρεχωβωθ, και την Χαλαχ,

12 και την Ρεσεν μεταξυ της Νινευη και της Χαλαχ· αυτη ειναι η πολις η μεγαλη.

13 Και ο Μισραιμ εγεννησε τους Λουδειμ, και τους Αναμειμ, και τους Λεαβειμ, και τους Ναφθουχειμ,

14 και τους Πατρουσειμ, και τους Χασλουχειμ, εκ των οποιων εξηλθον οι Φιλισταιοι, και τους Χαφθορειμ.

15 Και ο Χανααν εγεννησε τον Σιδωνα, πρωτοτοκον αυτου, και τον Χετταιον,

16 και τον Ιεβουσαιον, και τον Αμορραιον, και τον Γεργεσαιον,

17 και τον Ευαιον, και τον Αρουχαιον, και τον Ασενναιον,

18 και τον Αρβαδιον, και τον Σαμαραιον, και τον Αμαθαιον. Και μετα τουτο διεσπαρησαν αι φυλαι των Χαναναιων.

19 Και ησαν τα ορια των Χαναναιων απο Σιδωνος, καθως υπαγει τις εις Γεραρα, εως Γαζης, και καθως υπαγει τις εις Σοδομα και Γομορρα, και Αδαμα, και Σεβωειμ, εως Λασα.

20 Ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι του Χαμ, κατα τας φυλας αυτων, κατα τας γλωσσας αυτων, εις τους τοπους αυτων, εις τα εθνη αυτων.

21 Και εις τον Σημ, τον πατερα παντων των υιων του Εβερ, τον αδελφον Ιαφεθ του μεγαλητερου, εγεννηθησαν και εις αυτον υιοι.

22 Υιοι του Σημ ησαν Ελαμ, και Ασσουρ, και Αρφαξαδ, και Λουδ, και Αραμ.

23 Και οι υιοι του Αραμ, Ουζ, και Ουλ, και Γεθερ, και Μας.

24 Και ο Αρφαξαδ εγεννησε τον Σαλα· και ο Σαλα εγεννησε τον Εβερ.

25 Και εις τον Εβερ εγεννηθησαν δυο υιοι· το ονομα του ενος, Φαλεγ· διοτι εν ταις ημεραις αυτου διεμερισθη η γη· και το ονομα του αδελφου αυτου, Ιοκταν.

26 Και ο Ιοκταν εγεννησε τον Αλμωδαδ, και τον Σαλεφ, και τον Ασαρμαβεθ, και τον Ιαραχ,

27 και τον Αδωραμ, και τον Ουζαλ, και τον Δικλα,

28 και τον Οβαλ, και τον Αβιμαηλ, και τον Σεβα,

29 και τον Οφειρ, και τον Αβιλα, και τον Ιωβαβ· παντες ουτοι ησαν υιοι του Ιοκταν.

30 Και η κατοικια αυτων ητο απο Μησα, καθως υπαγει τις εις Σεφαρα, ορος της Ανατολης.

31 Ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι του Σημ, κατα τας φυλας αυτων, κατα τας γλωσσας αυτων, εις τους τοπους αυτων, κατα τα εθνη αυτων.

32 Αυται ειναι αι φυλαι των υιων του Νωε, κατα τας γενεας αυτων, εις τα εθνη αυτων· και εκ τουτων διεσπαρησαν τα εθνη επι της γης μετα τον κατακλυσμον.

1153. That 'the sons of Gomer' also means those who possessed external worship, but an external worship derived from that which existed with the nation Gomer, follows from what has been stated and shown several times already about the meaning of 'sons', as well as from the fact that Gomer is one of those nations which possessed external worship corresponding to internal. Seven nations which possessed such worship are mentioned by name in the previous verse, and seven again, called 'the sons of Gomer and of Javan', in this. The specific differences however between one nation and another cannot be stated, as only their names are given here. In the Prophets however when the subject is specifically this or that type of Church-worship the differences can be established. In general all variations of external worship, as also of internal, arise according to the adoration of the Lord in the worship, and the adoration is according to the love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour that exist there. For it is within love that the Lord is present, and thus within worship. The differences of worship therefore existing among the nations mentioned here depend on the nature of His presence within.

[2] To make it easier to talk about how types of worship differ and how they did so in the Ancient Church among various nations, let it be realized that all true worship consists in adoration of the Lord. Adoration of the Lord consists in being humble; and being humble consists in the self-acknowledgement that with oneself there is nothing living and nothing good, but that with oneself everything is dead, indeed corpse-like. Being humble also consists in the acknowledgement that everything living and everything good come from the Lord. The more a person acknowledges these things not just with the lips but in his heart, the more humility he has; and consequently the more adoration - which is true worship - and the more love and charity, and the more happiness. The first contains the second, and they are so linked together as to be inseparable. This shows what these differences of worship are and the nature of them.

[3] Those who are mentioned here and are called 'the sons of Gomer and of Javan' are people who likewise possessed external worship corresponding to internal, but it was somewhat more remote than that of the people mentioned in the previous verse. This also is why they are called 'sons'. Generations descending one after another, or derivatives, here progress from what is interior towards things that are exterior. The more someone relies on the senses, the more exterior he becomes, and consequently becomes further removed from true worship of the Lord. For when it is more concerned with the world, the body, and the earth, and less with the spirit, it consequently becomes more remote. Because these people called the sons of Gomer and of Javan relied more on the senses, they focused worship even more on external things than those referred to as their parents and cousins had done. Consequently they form a second group here.
