¹ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, [namely], of Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the flood.² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.³ And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.⁴ And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.⁵ Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

⁶ And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.⁷ And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.⁸ And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh: therefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yahweh.¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, and Accad-all of them in the land of Shinar.¹¹ Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).¹³ And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,¹⁴ and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from where went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim.

¹⁵ And Canaan begot Sidon his first-born, and Heth,¹⁶ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,¹⁸ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, to Lasha.²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

²¹ And to Shem, the father of all the sons of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were sons born.²² The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.²³ And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.²⁴ And Arpachshad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.²⁵ And to Eber were born two sons: The name of the one was Peleg. For in his days was the earth divided. And his brother's name was Joktan.²⁶ And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,²⁷ and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,²⁸ and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,²⁹ and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.³⁰ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.³¹ These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
