1 Now these are the generations of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; sons were born to them after the flood.
2 Japheth's sons: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
3 Gomer's sons: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 Javan's sons: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5 From these the coastlands of the nations were divided up in their lands, each by his own tongue, by their clans, in their nations.
6 Ham's sons: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
7 Cush's sons: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. Raamah's sons: Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush became the father of Nimrod; he was the first to be a mighty one on the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter in the sight of the LORD; that is why it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter in the sight of the LORD."
10 His kingdom began with Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 From that land he went out to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,
12 as well as Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
13 Mizraim became the father of the Ludim, the Anamim, the Lehabim, the Naphtuhim,
14 the Pathrusim, the Casluhim (from whom the Philistines went out), and the Caphtorim.
15 Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and of Heth,
16 and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the clans of the Canaanites were scattered.
19 The Canaanite border ran from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim as far as Lasha.
20 These are Ham's sons by their clans and their tongues, in their lands and their nations.
21 Children were born also to Shem, the father of all the sons of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth.
22 Shem's sons: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
23 Aram's sons: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah, and Shelah became the father of Eber.
25 Two sons were born to Eber; one was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan.
26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were Joktan's sons.
30 Their dwelling place stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.
31 These are Shem's sons by their clans and their tongues, in their lands, by their nations.
32 These are the clans of Noah's sons by their generations, in their nations; and from them the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
