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. |
