1This is the genealogy of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noahs sons, who also had sons after the flood. 2The 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 Dodanim. 5From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language. 6The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim Egypt, Put, and Canaan. 7The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth. 9He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah. That is why it is said: »Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Jehovah.« 10The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in Shinar. 11From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, 12and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 13Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14Pathrusites, Casluhites, and Caphtorites. 15Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites, 16Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, 17Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, 18Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans scattered, 19and the borders of Canaan reached from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations. 21Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was Japheth. Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber. 22The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram. 23The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech. 24Arpachshad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah the father of Eber. 25Two sons were born to Eber. One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided. His brother was named Joktan. 26Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan. 30The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country. 31These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations. 32These are the clans of Noahs sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.
