1These are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.2The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.3The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.4The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.5From these the coastlands of the nations were separated in their lands, each according to his tongue, according to their families, in their nations.6The sons of Ham were Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan.7The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.8Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty man in the land.9He was a mighty man of wild game before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty man of wild game before the LORD."10The beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar.11From that land he came to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth city, and Calah.12Resen was between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.13Egypt begot the Ludites, the Anamim, the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim.14Egypt also begot the Pathrusim, the Casluhim (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorim.15Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn and Heth.16The Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite.17The Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite.18The Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were scattered.19The border of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as one comes to Gerar as far as Gaza, as one comes to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim as far as Lasha.20These are the sons of Ham according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.21To Shem also was born a son; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the great.22The sons of Shem were Elam, Assyria, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.23The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.24Arpachshad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber.25To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the land was divided, and the name of his brother was Joktan.26Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, and Jerah.27Hadoram, Uzal, and Diklah.28Obal, Abimael, and Sheba.29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.30Their dwelling was from Mesha as one comes to Sephar, the mountain of the East.31These are the sons of Shem according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations.32These are the families of the sons of Noah according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were separated in the land after the flood.
