1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah , Shem , Ham , and Japheth : and unto them were sons born after the flood . 2The sons of Japheth ; Gomer , and Magog , and Madai , and Javan , and Tubal , and Meshech , and Tiras . 3And the sons of Gomer ; Ashkenaz , and Riphath , and Togarmah . 4And the sons of Javan ; Elishah , and Tarshish , Kittim , and Dodanim . 5By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands ; every one after his tongue , after their families , in their nations .
The Descendants of Ham
6And the sons of Ham ; Cush , and Mizraim , and Phut , and Canaan . 7And the sons of Cush ; Seba , and Havilah , and Sabtah , and Raamah , and Sabtecha : and the sons of Raamah ; Sheba , and Dedan . 8And Cush begat Nimrod : he began to be a mighty one in the earth . 9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD : wherefore it is said , Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD . 10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel , and Erech , and Accad , and Calneh , in the land of Shinar . 11Out of that land went forth Asshur , and builded Nineveh , and the city Rehoboth , and Calah , 12And Resen between Nineveh and Calah : the same is a great city . 13And Mizraim begat Ludim , and Anamim , and Lehabim , and Naphtuhim , 14And Pathrusim , and Casluhim , (out of whom came Philistim ,) and Caphtorim . 15And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn , and Heth , 16And the Jebusite , and the Amorite , and the Girgasite , 17And the Hivite , and the Arkite , and the Sinite , 18And the Arvadite , and the Zemarite , and the Hamathite : and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad . 19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon , as thou comest to Gerar , unto Gaza ; as thou goest , unto Sodom , and Gomorrah , and Admah , and Zeboim , even unto Lasha . 20These are the sons of Ham , after their families , after their tongues , in their countries , and in their nations .
The Descendants of Shem
21Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber , the brother of Japheth the elder , even to him were children born . 22The children of Shem ; Elam , and Asshur , and Arphaxad , and Lud , and Aram . 23And the children of Aram ; Uz , and Hul , and Gether , and Mash . 24And Arphaxad begat Salah ; and Salah begat Eber . 25And unto Eber were born two sons : the name of one was Peleg ; for in his days was the earth divided ; and his brother’s name was Joktan . 26And Joktan begat Almodad , and Sheleph , and Hazarmaveth , and Jerah , 27And Hadoram , and Uzal , and Diklah , 28And Obal , and Abimael , and Sheba , 29And Ophir , and Havilah , and Jobab : all these were the sons of Joktan . 30And their dwelling was from Mesha , as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east . 31These are the sons of Shem , after their families , after their tongues , in their lands , after their nations . 32These are the families of the sons of Noah , after their generations , in their nations : and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood .
