1. NOW
these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Ja-pheth:
and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2. The sons of Ja-pheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Ma-dai, and Ja-van, and
Tubal, and Me-shech, and Ti-ras.
3. And the sons of Gomer; Ash-ke-naz, and Ri-phath, and To-gar-mah.
4. And the sons of Ja-van; Elishah, and Tar-shish, Kit-tim, and Do-da-nim.
5. By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every
one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6. And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Miz-ra-im, and Phut, and Ca-na-an.
7. And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Hav-i-lah, and Sabtah, and Ra-a-mah,
and Sab-te-chah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8. And Cush begat Nim-rod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as
Nim-rod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Er-ech, and Accad,
and Calneh, in the land of Shi-nar.
11. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nin-e-veh, and the
city Re-ho-both, and Calah,
12. And Re-sen between Nin-e-veh and Calah: the same is a great city.
13. And Miz-ra-im begat Lu-dim, and An-a-mim, and Le-ha-bim, and
Naph-tu-him,
14. And Path-ru-sim, and Cas-lu-him, (out of whom came Phil-is-tim,) and
Caph-to-rim.
15. And Ca-na-an begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
16. And the Jeb-u-site, and the Amorite, and the Gir-ga-site,
17. And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18. And the Ar-va-dite, and the Zem-a-rite, and the Hamathite: and
afterward were the families of the Ca-na-an-ites spread abroad.
19. And the border of the Ca-na-an-ites was from Sidon, as thou comest
to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Go-mor-rah, and
Admah, and Ze-bo-im, even unto Lasha.
20. These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their
tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
21. Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother
of Ja-pheth the elder, even to him were children born.
22. The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Ar-phax-ad, and Lud, and
Aram.
23. And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Ge-ther, and Mash.
24. And Ar-phax-ad begat Sa-lah; and Salah begat Eber.
25. And 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 Joktan.
26. And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Ha-zar-ma-veth, and Jerah,
27. And Ha-dor-am, and U-zal, and Diklah,
28. And Obal, and A-bim-a-el, and Sheba,
29. And O-phir, and Hav-i-lah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of
Joktan.
30. And their dwelling was from Me-sha, as thou goest unto Sephar a
mount 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 by these were the nations divided in the earth
after the flood.
