- 1 This is the account of Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood.
- 2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
- 3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
- 4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites.
- 5 From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.
- 6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
- 7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
- 8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.
- 9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; so it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."
- 10 His kingdom began in Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
- 11 From that land he went forth into Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,
- 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.
- 13 Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,
- 14 the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites.
- 15 And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites,
- 16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
- 17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
- 18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans were scattered,
- 19 and the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
- 20 These are the sons of Ham according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.
- 21 And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth; Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber.
- 22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
- 23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
- 24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.
- 25 Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan.
- 26 And Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
- 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
- 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
- 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
- 30 Their territory extended from Mesha to Sephar, in the eastern hill country.
- 31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.
- 32 All these are the clans of Noah's sons, according to their generations and nations. From these the nations of the earth spread out after the flood.
