1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah,
Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
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, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5 By
these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after
his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 And
the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 And
the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and
the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8 And
Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He
was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the
mighty hunter before the LORD.
10 And
the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in
the land of Shinar.
11 Out
of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and
Calah,
12 And
Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
13 And
Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14 And
Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15 And
Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
16 And
the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
17 And
the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18 And
the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the
families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
19 And
the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto
Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto
Lasha.
20 These are the
sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in
their nations.
21 Unto
Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the
elder, even to him were children born.
22 The
children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And
the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And
Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
25 And
unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth
divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26 And
Joktan begat 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 dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
31 These are the
sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after
their nations.
32 These are the
families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by
these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
