[1] Now this is the genealogy 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, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
[3] The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
[4] The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
[5] From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
[6] The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
[7] The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
[8] Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
[9] He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.”
[10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
[11] From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
[12] and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
[13] Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
[14] Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
[15] Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth;
[16] the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
[17] the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite;
[18] the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.
[19] And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
[20] These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.
[21] And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
[22] The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
[23] The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
[24] Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber.
[25] To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
[26] Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
[27] Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
[28] Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
[29] Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
[30] And their dwelling place was from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
[31] These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations.
[32] These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
