[1] NOW these are the descendants of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the flood.
[2] The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Mongolia, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
[3] And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Diphar, and Togarmah.
[4] And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, China, and Doranim.
[5] It was from these that the people were divided into the Islands of the Gentiles and their main lands; every one after his language, after their families, in their nations
[6] And the sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
[7] And the sons of Cush: Sheba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Daran.
[8] And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
[9] He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod was a mighty hunter before the LORD.
[10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, Erech, Akhar, and Caliah, in the land of Sinar.
[11] Out of Sinar went forth the Assyrian and built Nineveh, and the city of Rehoboth, and Calah,
[12] And Resen which lies between Nineveh and Calah; the same is a great city.
[13] And Mizraim begot Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim
[14] And Pathrusim and Casluhim (out of whom came the Philistines) and Caphtorim
[15] And Canaan begot Sidon, his first-born, and Heth,
[16] And the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgasite,
[17] And the Havite, the Arkite, the Sinite,
[18] And the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
[19] And the border of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, which is at the entrance of Gadar, as far as Gaza; which is at the entrance of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, as far as Lasha.
[20] These are the sons of Ham, after their families and their languages, in their lands and in their nations
[21] To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, even to him were children born.
[22] The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphakhashar, Lud and Aram.
[23] And the children of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
[24] And Arphakhashar begot Shalah; and Shalah begot Eber.
[25] And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
[26] And Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
[27] Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
[28] Obal, Abimael, and Sheba,
[29] Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were sons of Joktan.
[30] The lands which they inhabited extended from Mesha, which is at the entrance of Sepharvim, a mount in the east.
[31] These are the sons of Shem, after their families, their languages, in their lands, after their nations.
[32] These are the descendants of the sons of Noah, according to their families, in their nations: and from these the people spread abroad on the earth after the flood
