1 | And these [are] births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and born to them are sons after the deluge. |
2 | `Sons of Japheth [are] Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. |
3 | And sons of Gomer [are] Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. |
4 | And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. |
5 | By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations. |
6 | And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan. |
7 | And sons of Cush [are] Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah [are] Sheba and Dedan. |
8 | And Cush hath begotten Nimrod; |
9 | he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, `As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.` |
10 | And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar; |
11 | from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah, |
12 | and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city. |
13 | And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim, |
14 | and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out Philistim,) and the Caphtorim. |
15 | And Canaan hath begotten Sidon his first-born, 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 afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered. |
19 | And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, [in] thy coming towards Gerar, unto Gaza; [in] thy coming towards Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, unto Lasha. |
20 | These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. |
21 | As to Shem, father of all sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the elder, he hath also begotten: |
22 | Sons of Shem [are] Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. |
23 | And sons of Aram [are] Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. |
24 | And Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten Eber. |
25 | And to Eber have two sons been born; the name of the one [is] Peleg (for in his days hath the earth been divided,) and his brother`s name [is] Joktan. |
26 | And Joktan hath begotten 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 [are] sons of Joktan; |
30 | and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east. |
31 | These [are] sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations. |
32 | These [are] families of the sons of Noah, by their births, in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in the earth after the deluge. |
