Now these are the records of the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and sons were born to them after the flood.
2aThe sons of Japheth were bGomer and Magog and cMadai and dJavan and Tubal and eMeshech and Tiras.
3The sons of Gomer were aAshkenaz and 1Riphath and bTogarmah.
4The sons of Javan were Elishah and aTarshish, Kittim and 1Dodanim.
5From these the coastlands of the nations 1were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
6aThe sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.
7The sons of Cush were aSeba and Havilah and Sabtah and bRaamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were bSheba and cDedan.
8Now Cush 1became the father of Nimrod; he 2became a mighty one on the earth.
9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD."
10The beginning of his kingdom was 1 aBabel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of bShinar.
11From that land he went forth ainto Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,
12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
13Mizraim 1became the father of aLudim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim
14and aPathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.
15Canaan 1became the father of aSidon, his firstborn, and bHeth
16and athe Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite
17and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite
18and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.
19aThe territory of the Canaanite 1extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward bSodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
20These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations.
21Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the 1older brother of Japheth, children were born.
22aThe sons of Shem were bElam and Asshur and cArpachshad and dLud and Aram.
23The sons of Aram were aUz and Hul and Gether and Mash.
24Arpachshad 1became the father of aShelah; and Shelah 1became the father of Eber.
25aTwo sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was 1Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26Joktan 1became the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah
27and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah
28and 1Obal and Abimael and Sheba
29and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
30Now their 1settlement 2extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.
31These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.
32These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations; and aout of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
