[1]NOW these are the descendants of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the flood.
[2]The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Mongolia, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
[3]And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Diphar, and Togarmah.
[4]And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, China, and Doranim.
[5]It was from these that the people were divided into the Islands of the Gentiles and their main lands; every one after his language, after their families, in their nations
[6]And the sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
[7]And the sons of Cush: Sheba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Daran.
[8]And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
[9]He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod was a mighty hunter before the LORD.
[10]And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, Erech, Akhar, and Caliah, in the land of Sinar.
[11]Out of Sinar went forth the Assyrian and built Nineveh, and the city of Rehoboth, and Calah,
[12]And Resen which lies between Nineveh and Calah; the same is a great city.
[13]And Mizraim begot Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim
[14]And Pathrusim and Casluhim (out of whom came the Philistines) and Caphtorim
[15]And Canaan begot Sidon, his first-born, and Heth,
[16]And the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgasite,
[17]And the Havite, the Arkite, the Sinite,
[18]And the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
[19]And the border of the Canaanites extended from Sidon, which is at the entrance of Gadar, as far as Gaza; which is at the entrance of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, as far as Lasha.
[20]These are the sons of Ham, after their families and their languages, in their lands and in their nations
[21]To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, even to him were children born.
[22]The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphakhashar, Lud and Aram.
[23]And the children of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
[24]And Arphakhashar begot Shalah; and Shalah begot Eber.
[25]And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
[26]And Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
[27]Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
[28]Obal, Abimael, and Sheba,
[29]Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were sons of Joktan.
[30]The lands which they inhabited extended from Mesha, which is at the entrance of Sepharvim, a mount in the east.
[31]These are the sons of Shem, after their families, their languages, in their lands, after their nations.
[32]These are the descendants of the sons of Noah, according to their families, in their nations: and from these the people spread abroad on the earth after the flood
