Now these are the generations of the sons
of Noah
, Shem
, Ham
, and Japheth
: and unto them were sons
born
after
the flood
.
The sons of Japheth
; Gomer
, and Magog
, and Madai
, and Javan
, and Tubal
, and Meshech
, and Tiras
.
And the sons of Gomer
; Ashkenaz
, and Riphath
, and Togarmah
.
And the sons of Javan
; Elishah
, and Tarshish
, Kittim
, and Dodanim
.
By these were the isles of the Gentiles
divided in
their lands
; every one
after his tongue
, after their families
, in their nations
.
And the sons of Ham
; Cush
, and Mizraim
, and Phut
, and Canaan
.
And the sons of Cush
; Seba
, and Havilah
, and Sabtah
, and Raamah
, and Sabtecha
: and the sons
of Raamah
; Sheba
, and Dedan
.
And Cush begat
Nimrod
: he began
to be
a mighty one
in the earth
.
He was a mighty hunter
before
the LORD
: wherefore
it is said
, Even as Nimrod
the mighty
hunter
before
the LORD
.
And the beginning of his kingdom
was Babel
, and Erech
, and Accad
, and Calneh
, in the land
of Shinar
.
Out of that land went forth
Asshur
, and builded
Nineveh
, and the city
Rehoboth
, and Calah
,
And Resen between Nineveh
and Calah
: the same is a great
city
.
And Mizraim begat
Ludim
, and Anamim
, and Lehabim
, and Naphtuhim
,
And Pathrusim, and Casluhim
, (out of whom came
Philistim
,) and Caphtorim
.
And Canaan begat
Sidon
his firstborn
, and Heth
,
And the Jebusite, and the Amorite
, and the Girgasite
,
And the Hivite, and the Arkite
, and the Sinite
,
And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite
, and the Hamathite
: and afterward
were the families
of the Canaanites
spread abroad
.
And 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
.
These are the sons of Ham
, after their families
, after their tongues
, in their countries
, and in their nations
.
Unto Shem also, the father
of all the children
of Eber
, the brother
of Japheth
the elder
, even to him were children born
.
The children of Shem
; Elam
, and Asshur
, and Arphaxad
, and Lud
, and Aram
.
And the children of Aram
; Uz
, and Hul
, and Gether
, and Mash
.
And Arphaxad begat
Salah
; and Salah
begat
Eber
.
And 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
.
And Joktan begat
Almodad
, and Sheleph
, and Hazarmaveth
, and Jerah
,
And Hadoram, and Uzal
, and Diklah
,
And Obal, and Abimael
, and Sheba
,
And Ophir, and Havilah
, and Jobab
: all these were the sons
of Joktan
.
And their dwelling was from Mesha
, as thou goest
unto Sephar
a mount
of the east
.
These are the sons of Shem
, after their families
, after their tongues
, in their lands
, after their nations
.
These 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
.
