| 1 ¶ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto 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 Dodanim.1
|
|
| 5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles 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 Phut, and Canaan.
|
|
| 7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
|
|
| 8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
|
|
| 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
|
|
| 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel,2 and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
|
|
| 11 Out of that land went3 forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city4 Rehoboth, and Calah,
|
|
| 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
|
|
| 13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
|
|
| 14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
|
|
| 15 ¶ And Canaan begat Sidon5 his firstborn, and Heth,
|
|
| 16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
|
|
| 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 Canaanites spread abroad.
|
|
| 19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza;6 as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
|
|
| 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
|
|
| 21 ¶ Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
|
|
| 22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad,7 and Lud, and Aram.
|
|
| 23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
|
|
| 24 And Arphaxad begat Salah;8 and Salah begat Eber.
|
|
| 25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg;9 for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
|
|
| 26 And Joktan begat 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 thou goest unto Sephar a mount 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 by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
