1These are the family lines of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.
3The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
4The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5From these the coastlands of the Gentiles were divided up in their lands. Each had his own language, by their families, in their nations.
7The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtecha. The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
8Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.
9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. That is why people say, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD."
10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11Out of that land went Asshur, and he built Nineveh, the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah. That is a great city.
13Mizraim was the father of the Ludim, the Anamim, the Lehabim, the Naphtuhim,
14the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim (from whom came the Philistim), and the Caphtorim.
16and the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgasite,
17the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,
18the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Later the families of the Canaanites spread out.
19The border of the Canaanites went from Sidon toward Gerar, as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, as far as Lasha.
20These are the sons of Ham, by their families and their languages, in their countries and their nations.
21Children were also born to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
22The children of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
23The children of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
24Arphaxad was the father of Salah, and Salah was the father of Eber.
25Two sons were born to Eber. The name of one was Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.
26Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
28Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
30They lived from Mesha as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.
31These are the sons of Shem, by their families and their languages, in their lands and their nations.
32These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their family lines, in their nations. From these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
