[1] These are the generations of the sons of Noah, 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:
Ash'kenaz, Riphath, and Togar'mah. [4] The sons of Javan: Eli'shah,
Tarshish, Kittim, and Do'danim. [5] From these the coastland peoples
spread. These are the sons of Japheth in their lands, each with his own
language, by their families, in their nations. [6] The sons of Ham: Cush,
Egypt, Put, and Canaan. [7] The sons of Cush: Seba, Hav'ilah, Sabtah,
Ra'amah, and Sab'teca. The sons of Ra'amah: Sheba and Dedan. [8] Cush
became the father of Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.
[9] He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like
Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD." [10] The beginning of his kingdom
was Ba'bel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar. [11] From
that land he went into Assyria, and built Nin'eveh, Reho'both-Ir, Calah,
and [12] Resen between Nin'eveh and Calah; that is the great city. [13]
Egypt became the father of Ludim, An'amim, Leha'bim, Naph-tu'him, [14]
Pathru'sim, Caslu'him (whence came the Philistines), and Caph'torim. [15]
Canaan became the father of Sidon his first-born, and Heth, [16] and the
Jeb'usites, the Amorites, the Gir'gashites, [17] the Hivites, the Arkites,
the Sinites, [18] the Ar'vadites, the Zem'arites, and the Ha'mathites.
Afterward the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. [19] And the
territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar,
as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomor'rah, Admah, and
Zeboi'im, as far as Lasha. [20] These are the sons of Ham, by their
families, their languages, their lands, and their nations. [21] To Shem
also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth,
children were born. [22] The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpach'shad, Lud,
and Aram. [23] The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. [24]
Arpach'shad became the father of Shelah; and 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, and his brother's name was Joktan. [26]
Joktan became the father of Almo'dad, Sheleph, Hazarma'veth, Jerah, [27]
Hador'am, Uzal, Diklah, [28] Obal, Abim'a-el, Sheba, [29] Ophir, Hav'ilah,
and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. [30] The territory in which
they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill
country of the east. [31] These are the sons of Shem, by their families,
their languages, their lands, and their nations. [32] These are the
families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their
nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the
flood.
