1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah , Shem , Ham, and Japheth : and unto them were sons born after the flood .
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 , Kittim , and Dodanim .
5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands ; every one after his tongue , after their families , in their nations .
6 And the sons of Ham; Cush , and Mizraim , and Phut , and Canaan .
7 And the sons of Cush ; Seba , and Havilah , and Sabtah , and Raamah , and Sabtechah : and the sons of Raamah ; Sheba , and Dedan .
8 And Cush begat Nimrod : he began to be a mighty one in the earth .
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD : wherefore it is said , Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD .
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel , and Erech , and Accad , and Calneh , in the land of Shinar .
11 Out of that land went forth Asshur , and builded Nineveh , and the city Rehoboth , and Calah ,
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah : the same is a great city .
13 And Mizraim begat Ludim , and Anamim , and Lehabim , and Naphtuhim ,
14 And Pathrusim , and Casluhim , (out of whom came Philistim ,) and Caphtorim .
15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn , and Heth ,
16 And the Jebusite , and the Amorite , and the Girgasite ,
17 And the Hivite , and the Arkite , and the Sinite ,
18 And the Arvadite , and the Zemarite , and the Hamathite : and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad .
19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon , as thou comest to Gerar , unto Gaza ; as thou goest , unto Sodom , and Gomorrah , and Admah , and Zeboim , even unto Lasha .
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families , after their tongues , in their countries , and in their nations .
21 Unto Shem also , the father of all the children of Eber , the brother of Japheth the elder , even to him were children born .
22 The children of Shem ; Elam , and Asshur , and Arphaxad , and Lud, and Aram .
23 And the children of Aram ; Uz, and Hul, and Gether , and Mash .
24 And Arphaxad begat Salah ; and Salah begat Eber .
25 And unto Eber were born two sons : the name of one was Peleg ; for in his days was the earth divided ; and his brother’s name was Joktan .
26 And Joktan begat 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 dwelling was from Mesha , as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east .
31 These are the sons of Shem , after their families , after their tongues , in their lands , after their nations .
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah , after their generations , in their nations : and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood .
