1 | Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: these are the sons which they had after the great flow of waters |
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, the Kittim and the Dodanim. |
5 | From these came the nations of the sea-lands, with their different families and languages. |
6 | And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan. |
7 | And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. |
8 | And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth. |
9 | He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman. |
10 | And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. |
11 | From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah, |
12 | And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town. |
13 | And Mizraim was the father of the Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim; |
14 | And Pathrusim and Casluhim and Caphtorim, from whom came the Philistines. |
15 | And Canaan was the father of Zidon, who was his oldest son, 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; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions; |
19 | Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim. |
20 | All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham. |
21 | And Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father of the children of Eber, had other sons in addition. |
22 | These are the sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram. |
23 | And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. |
24 | And Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. |
25 | And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan. |
26 | And Joktan was 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 | And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, the mountain of the east. |
31 | These, with their families and their languages and their lands and their nations, are the offspring of Shem. |
32 | These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth after the great flow of waters. |
