1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Yafet: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 2The sons of Yafet; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Yavan, and Tubal, and Meshek, and Tiras. 3And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Rifat, and Togarmah. 4And the sons of Yavan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 6And the sons of Ham; Kush, and Mizrayim, and Phut, and Kana’an. 7And the sons of Kush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Ra’amah, and Sabtekah: and the sons of Ra’amah; Sheba, and Dedan. 8And Kush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9He was a mighty hunter before YHVH: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before YHVH. 10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erek, and Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11Out of that land [he] went forth [to] Ashur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehobot, and Calah, 12And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. 13And Mizrayim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14And Patrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Pelishtim,) and Caphtorim. 15And Kana’an begat Zidon his first born, and Het, 16And the Yebusi, and the Amori, and the Girgashi, 17And the Hivi, and the Arki, and the Sini, 18And the Arvadi, and the Zemari, and the Hamati: and afterward were the families of the Kana’ani spread abroad. 19And the border of the Kana’ani was from Zidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboyim, even unto Lasha. 20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 21Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Yafet the elder, even to him were children born. 22The children of Shem; Eylam, and Ashur, and Arpakshad, and Lud, and Aram. 23And the children of Aram; Utz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24And Arpakshad begat Shalah; and Shalah begat Eber. 25And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Yoqtan. 26And Yoqtan begat Almodad, and Shaleph, and Hazarmavet, and Yerah, 27And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diqlah, 28And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 29And Ophir, and Havilah, and Yobab: all these were the sons of Yoqtan. 30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. 31These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 32These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. |
