| 1 | These are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and of the sons who were born to them after the great flood. |
| 2 | The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. |
| 3 | And then the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. |
| 4 | And the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim. |
| 5 | The islands of the Gentiles were divided by these into their regions, each one according to his tongue, and their families in their nations. |
| 6 | And the Sons of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. |
| 7 | And the sons of Cush were Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dadan. |
| 8 | And then Cush conceived Nimrod; he began to be powerful on the earth. |
| 9 | And he was an able hunter before the Lord. From this, a proverb came forth: 'Just like Nimrod, an able hunter before the Lord.' |
| 10 | And so, the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Chalanne, in the land of Shinar. |
| 11 | From that land, Assur came forth, and he built Nineveh, and the streets of the city, and Calah, |
| 12 | and also Resen, between Nineveh and Calah. This is a great city. |
| 13 | And truly, Mizraim conceived Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, Naphtuhim, |
| 14 | and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, from whom came forth the Philistines and the Caphtorim. |
| 15 | Then Canaan conceived Sidon his firstborn, the Hittite, |
| 16 | and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, the Girgashite, |
| 17 | the Hivite, and the Arkite: the Sinite, |
| 18 | and the Arvadian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite. And after this, the peoples of the Canaanites became widespread. |
| 19 | And the borders of Chanaan went, as one travels, from Sidon to Gerar, even to Gaza, until one enters Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Admah and Zeboiim, even to Lesa. |
| 20 | These are the sons of Ham in their kindred, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations. |
| 21 | Likewise, from Shem, the father of all the sons of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born. |
| 22 | The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. |
| 23 | The sons of Aram were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. |
| 24 | But truly, Arphaxad conceived Shelah, from whom was born Eber. |
| 25 | And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth became divided, and his brother's name was Joktan. |
| 26 | This Joktan conceived Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, Jerah |
| 27 | and Hadoram, and Uzal and Diklah, |
| 28 | and Obal and Abimael, Sheba |
| 29 | and Ophir, and Havilah and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. |
| 30 | And their habitation extended from Messa, as one sojourns, even to Sephar, a mountain in the east. |
| 31 | These are the sons of Shem according to their kindred, and tongues, and the regions within their nations. |
| 32 | These are the families of Noah, according to their peoples and nations. The nations became divided according to these, on the earth after the great flood. |
