1
Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.
2
The sons of Japheth [were] Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Elisa, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
3
And the sons of Gomer [were] Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
4
And the sons of Jovan [were] Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5
From these were the islands of the Gentiles divided in their land, each according to his tongue, in their tribes and in their nations.
6
And the sons of Ham [were] Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
7
And the sons of Cush [were] Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah. And the sons of Raamah [were] Sheba and Dedan.
8
And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth.
9
He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nimrod the giant hunter before the Lord.
10
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11
Out of that land he came to Assyria, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth Ir, and Calah,
12
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city.
13
And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Naphtuhim, and the Enemetim, and the Lehabim,
14
and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim (from whom came forth the Philistine) and the Caphtorim.
15
And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and the Hittite,
16
and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
17
and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Senite,
18
and the Aradian, and the Samarean, and the Amathite; and after this the tribes of the Canaanites were dispersed.
19
And the boundaries of the Canaanites were from Sidon till one comes to Gerar and Gaza, till one comes to Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
20
These [were] the sons of Ham in their tribes according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
21
And to Shem himself also were children born, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
22
The sons of Shem [were] Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, Aram, and Cainan.
23
The sons of Aram [were] Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mesech.
24
And Arphaxad begot Cainan, and Cainan begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber.
25
And to Eber were born two sons, the name of the one [was] Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother [was] Joktan.
26
And Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Sarmoth, Jerah,
27
Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
29
Ophir, Havila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
30
And their dwelling was from Mesha, till one comes to Sephar, a mountain of the east.
31
These were the sons of Shem in their tribes, according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
32
These are the tribes of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, according to their nations: of them were the islands of the Gentiles scattered over the earth after the flood.
