[1] Now these are the records of the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and sons were born to them after the flood.
[2] The sons of Japheth were Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.
[3] The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.
[4] The sons of Javan were Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim.
[5] From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
[6] The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.
[7] The sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
[8] Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth.
[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 Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
[11] From that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,
[12] and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
[13] Mizraim became the father of Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim
[14] and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.
[15] Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, 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; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.
[19] The territory of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
[20] These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations.
[21] Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the older brother of Japheth, children were born.
[22] The sons of Shem were Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.
[23] The sons of Aram were Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.
[24] Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.
[25] Two sons were born to Eber; 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 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] Now their settlement extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.
[31] These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.
[32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations; and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
