1And these are the generations of the sons of Noah — Shem, Ham, and Japheth — and sons were born to them after the flood.
2The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.
3And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.
4And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and the Dodanim.
5From these the coastland peoples spread out into their lands, each according to its tongue, by their clans, within their nations.
6And the sons of Ham: Cush and Egypt and Put and Canaan.
7And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
8And Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first to be a mighty man in the earth.
9He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, ‘Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh.’
10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Akkad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11From that land he went out to Asshur, and he built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,
12and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah — that is the great city.
13And Egypt fathered the Ludim and the Anamim and the Lehabim and the Naphtuhim,
14and the Pathrusim and the Casluhim — from whom the Philistines came — and the Caphtorim.
15And Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
16and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite,
17and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite,
18and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite. And afterward the clans of the Canaanite were scattered abroad.
19And the territory of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
20These are the sons of Ham, by their clans, according to their tongues, in their lands, within their nations.
21And to Shem also, the father of all the sons of Eber, the older brother of Japheth, children were born.
22The sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.
23And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.
24And Arpachshad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber.
25And to Eber two sons were born; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother was Joktan.
26And Joktan fathered Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah,
27and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah,
28and Obal and Abimael and Sheba,
29and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.
31These are the sons of Shem, by their clans, by their languages, in their lands, by their nations.
32These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, by their nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
