[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, an 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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; wherefore it is said: 'Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.'
[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.
