1 And this is the family history of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 By these the islands of the nations were parted in their lands, each by his language, by their families, in their nations. 6 And the sons of Ham were Cush, and Mitzraim, and Put, and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush were Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah. And sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. 8 And Cush fathered Nimrod. 9 He had begun to be a hero in the land. He had been a hero in hunting before YHWH. Therefore it was said, “As Nimrod the hero in hunting before YHWH.” 10 And the first part of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went out to Asshur, and built Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah, 12 and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah. It was the great city. 13 And Mitzraim fathered the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim, 14 and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim (from where had come out Philistim), and the Caphtorim. 15 And Canaan fathered Sidon 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 the families of the Canaanite were scattered. 19 And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, in your coming toward Gerar, to Gaza. In your coming toward Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, to Lasha. 20 These were sons of Ham, by their families, by their languages, in their lands, in their nations.
21 As for Shem, father of all sons of Eber, the older brother of Japheth, he also fathered children. 22 The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 23 And the sons of Aram were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 And Arphaxad fathered Salah, and Salah fathered Eber. 25 And two sons were born to Eber. The name of the first was Peleg (for in his days the earth was divided), and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26 And Joktan fathered 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 settlement is from Mesha, in your coming toward Sephar, a mountain of the east. 31 These were the sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations. 32 These were the families of the sons of Noah, by their family histories, in their nations, and by these the nations were parted in the earth after the flood.
