Now these are the records of the generations
of Shem
, Ham
, and Japheth
, the sons
of Noah
; and sons
were born
to them after
the flood
.
aThe sons of Japheth
were bGomer
and Magog
and cMadai
and dJavan
and Tubal
and eMeshech
and Tiras
.
The sons of Gomer
were aAshkenaz
and 1Riphath
and bTogarmah
.
The sons of Javan
were Elishah
and aTarshish
, Kittim
and 1Dodanim
.
From these the coastlands
of the nations
1were separated
into their lands
, every
one
according to his language
, according to their families
, into their nations
.
aThe sons of Ham
were Cush
and Mizraim
and Put
and Canaan
.
The sons of Cush
were aSeba
and Havilah
and Sabtah
and bRaamah
and Sabteca
; and the sons
of Raamah
were bSheba
and cDedan
.
Now Cush 1became
the father
of Nimrod
; he 2became
a mighty
one
on the earth
.
He was a mighty hunter
before
the LORD
; therefore
it is said
, "Like Nimrod
a mighty
hunter
before
the LORD
."
The beginning of his kingdom
was 1 aBabel
and Erech
and Accad
and Calneh
, in the land
of bShinar
.
From that land he went
forth
ainto Assyria
, and built
Nineveh
and Rehoboth-Ir
and Calah
,
and Resen between
Nineveh
and Calah
; that is the great
city
.
Mizraim 1became
the father
of aLudim
and Anamim
and Lehabim
and Naphtuhim
and aPathrusim and Casluhim
(from which
came
the Philistines
) and Caphtorim
.
Canaan 1became
the father
of aSidon
, his firstborn
, and bHeth
and athe Jebusite and the Amorite
and the Girgashite
and the Hivite and the Arkite
and the Sinite
and the Arvadite and the Zemarite
and the Hamathite
; and afterward
the families
of the Canaanite
were spread
abroad.
aThe territory of the Canaanite
1extended
from Sidon
as you go
toward Gerar
, as far
as Gaza
; as you go
toward bSodom
and Gomorrah
and Admah
and Zeboiim
, as far
as Lasha
.
These are the sons
of Ham
, according to their families
, according to their languages
, by their lands
, by their nations
.
Also to Shem
, the father
of all
the children
of Eber
, and the 1older
brother
of Japheth
, children were born
.
aThe sons of Shem
were bElam
and Asshur
and cArpachshad
and dLud
and Aram
.
The sons of Aram
were aUz
and Hul
and Gether
and Mash
.
Arpachshad 1became
the father
of aShelah
; and Shelah
1became
the father
of Eber
.
aTwo sons
were born
to Eber
; the name
of the one
was 1Peleg
, for in his days
the earth
was divided
; and his brother's
name
was Joktan
.
Joktan 1became
the father
of Almodad
and Sheleph
and Hazarmaveth
and Jerah
and Hadoram and Uzal
and Diklah
and 1Obal and Abimael
and Sheba
and Ophir and Havilah
and Jobab
; all
these
were the sons
of Joktan
.
Now their 1settlement 2extended
from Mesha
as you go
toward Sephar
, the hill
country
of the east
.
These are the sons
of Shem
, according to their families
, according to their languages
, by their lands
, according to their nations
.
These are the families
of the sons
of Noah
, according to their genealogies
, by their nations
; and aout of these
the nations
were separated
on the earth
after
the flood
.
