| 1 | Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood. |
| 2 | The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. |
| 3 | The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. |
| 4 | The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. |
| 5 | Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations. |
| 6 | The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. |
| 7 | The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. |
| 8 | Cush became the father of Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. |
| 9 | He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, 'Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh.' |
| 10 | The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. |
| 11 | Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, |
| 12 | and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city). |
| 13 | Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, |
| 14 | Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim. |
| 15 | Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth, |
| 16 | the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite, |
| 17 | the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite, |
| 18 | the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. |
| 19 | The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha. |
| 20 | These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations. |
| 21 | To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born. |
| 22 | The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. |
| 23 | The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. |
| 24 | Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber. |
| 25 | To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided. His brother's name was Joktan. |
| 26 | Joktan became the father of 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 | Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. |
| 31 | These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations. |
| 32 | These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. |
