3. The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. | |
4. The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. | |
5. From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations. | |
6. The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. | |
7. The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. | |
8. Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. | |
9. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord." | |
10. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. | |
11. From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, | |
12. and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city). | |

16. the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite; | |
17. the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite; | |
18. the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. | |
19. And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. | |
20. These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations. | |
21. And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. | |
22. The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. | |
23. The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. | |
24. Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber. | |
25. To Eber were born two sons the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. | |
26. Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, | |
27. Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, | |
28. Obal, Abimael, Sheba, | |
29. Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. | |
30. And their dwelling place was from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. | |
31. These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations. | |
32. These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood. |
