[1] Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and
Japheth: these are the sons which they had after the great flow of waters
[2] The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and
Meshech and Tiras. [3] And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and
Togarmah. [4] And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and
the Dodanim. [5] From these came the nations of the sea-lands, with their
different families and languages. [6] And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim
and Put and Canaan. [7] And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah
and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. [8] And
Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the
earth. [9] He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like
Nimrod, a very great bowman. [10] And at the first, his kingdom was Babel
and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. [11] From that land
he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah,
[12] And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town. [13]
And Mizraim was the father of the Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and
Naphtuhim; [14] And Pathrusim and Casluhim and Caphtorim, from whom came
the Philistines. [15] And Canaan was the father of Zidon, who was his
oldest son, and Heth, [16] And the Jebusite and the Amorite and the
Girgashite, [17] And the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite, [18] And the
Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; after that the families of the
Canaanites went far and wide in all directions; [19] Their country
stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in
the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim. [20] All these,
with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the
offspring of Ham. [21] And Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father
of the children of Eber, had other sons in addition. [22] These are the
sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram. [23] And the
sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. [24] And Arpachshad became
the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. [25] And Eber
had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the
peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan.
[26] And Joktan was the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and
Jerah [27] And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah [28] And Obal and Abimael and
Sheba [29] And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of
Joktan. [30] And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar,
the mountain of the east. [31] These, with their families and their
languages and their lands and their nations, are the offspring of Shem.
[32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their
generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth
after the great flow of waters.
