These are the descendants of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, to whom sons were born after the flood: |
Generation - Noah. Gn.10.1-32
1Chr.1.5-23
|

Japheth's sons: Gomer, Magog, the Medes, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, Tiras. |

Gomer's sons: Ashkenaz, Riphath, Togarmah. |
|
| 4 |
Javan's sons: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim, the Dananites. |

From these came the dispersal to the islands of the nations. These were Japheth's sons, in their respective countries, each with its own language, by clan and nation. |
|

Ham's sons: Cush, Mizraim, Put, Canaan. |
|
| 7 |
Cush's sons: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, Sabteca. Raamah's sons: Sheba, Dedan. |
|
| 8 |
Cush fathered Nimrod who was the first potentate on earth. |
|
| 9 |
He was a mighty hunter in the eyes of Yahweh, hence the saying, 'Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter in the eyes of Yahweh'. |
|
| 10 |
The mainstays of his empire were Babel, Erech and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar. |
|
| 11 |
From this country came Asshur, and he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, |
|
| 12 |
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (this being the capital). |
|
| 13 |
Mizraim fathered the people of Lud, of Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh, |
|
| 14 |
Pathros, Casluh and Caphtor, from which the Philistines came. |
|
| 15 |
Canaan fathered Sidon, his first-born, then Heth, |
|
| 16 |
and the Jebusites, the Amorites, Girgashites, |
|
| 17 |
Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, |
|
| 18 |
Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites. Later, the Canaanite clans spread out. |
|
| 19 |
The Canaanite frontier stretched from Sidon all the way to Gerar near Gaza, and all the way to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim near Lesha. |
|
| 20 |
These were Ham's sons, by clans and languages, by countries and nations. |
|

Shem too fathered sons, being ancestor of all the sons of Eber and Japheth's elder brother. |
|
| 22 |
Shem's sons: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, Aram. |
|
| 23 |
Aram's sons: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash. |
|
| 24 |
Arpachshad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber. |
|
| 25 |
To Eber were born two sons: the first was called Peleg, because it was in his time that the earth was divided, and his brother was called Joktan. |
|
| 26 |
Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, |
|
| 27 |
Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, |
|

Ophir, Havilah, Jobab; all these were sons of Joktan. |
|

They occupied a stretch of country from Mesha all the way to Sephar, the eastern mountain range. |
|
| 31 |
These were Shem's sons, by clans and languages, by countries and nations. |
|
| 32 |
Such were the clans of Noah's descendants, listed by descent and nation. From them, other nations branched out on earth after the flood. |
