| 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 | Of these were the isles of the nations 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 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 begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth. |
| 9 | He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; wherefore it is said: ‘Like Nimrod a 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 Rehoboth-ir, and Calah, |
| 12 | and Resen between Nineveh and Calah—the same is the great city. |
| 13 | And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, |
| 14 | and Pathrusim, and Casluhim—whence went forth the Philistines—and Caphtorim. |
| 15 | And Canaan begot Zidon his firstborn, 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 afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad. |
| 19 | And the border of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha. |
| 20 | These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. |
| 21 | And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born. |
| 22 | 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 begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber. |
| 25 | And unto Eber were born two sons; the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. |
| 26 | And Joktan begot 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 toward Sephar, unto the mountain 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 of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. |
