Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.
|
2 |
The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
|
3 |
The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
|
4 |
The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
|
5 |
From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
|
6 |
The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
|
7 |
The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
|
8 |
Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
|
9 |
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.”
|
10 |
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
|
11 |
From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
|
12 |
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
|
13 |
Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
|
14 |
Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
|
15 |
Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth;
|
16 |
the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
|
17 |
the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite;
|
18 |
the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.
|
19 |
And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
|
20 |
These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.
|
21 |
And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
|
22 |
The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
|
23 |
The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
|
24 |
Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber.
|
25 |
To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
|
26 |
Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
|
27 |
Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
|
28 |
Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
|
29 |
Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
|
30 |
And their dwelling place was from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
|
31 |
These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations.
|
32 |
These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
