| 1 | 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. |
