1These are the descendants of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth, the sons born to them after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan , Tubal, Meshech and Tiras. 3The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah. 4The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim and Rodanim. 5From these the peoples of the coasts and islands separated into their own countries, each with their own language, family by family, nation by nation. 6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim , Put and Canaan.
7The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabtecha. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to show himself a man of might on earth; 9and he was a mighty hunter before the LORD, as the saying goes, 'Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.' 10His kingdom in the beginning consisted of Babel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar. 11From that land he migrated to Asshur and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and 12Resen, a great city between Nineveh and Calah. 13 From Mizraim sprang the Lydians, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14Pathrusites, Casluhites, and the Caphtorites, from whom the Philistines were descended.
15Canaan was the father of Sidon, who was his eldest son, and Heth , 16the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanites spread, 19and then the Canaanite border ran from Sidon towards Gerar all the way to Gaza; then all the way to Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim as far as Lasha. 20These were the sons of Ham, by families and languages with their countries and nations.
21Sons were born also to Shem, elder brother of Japheth, the ancestor of all the sons of Eber. 22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram. 23The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash. 24Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah the father of Eber. 25Eber had two sons: one was named Peleg , because in his time the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 26Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmoth, Jerah, 27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan. 30They lived in the eastern hill-country, from Mesha all the way to Sephar. 31These were the sons of Shem, by families and languages with their countries and nations.
32These were the families of the sons of Noah according to their genealogies, nation by nation; and from them came the separate nations on earth after the flood.
