**1 **Now these *are* the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

**2 **The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. **3 **And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. **4 **And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. **5 **By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

**6 **And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. **7 **And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. **8 **And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. **9 **He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. **10 **And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. **11 **Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, **12 **And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same *is* a great city. **13 **And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, **14 **And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

**15 **And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, **16 **And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, **17 **And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, **18 **And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. **19 **And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. **20 **These *are* the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, *and* in their nations.

**21 **Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were *children* born. **22 **The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. **23 **And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. **24 **And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. **25 **And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one *was* Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name *was* Joktan. **26 **And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, **27 **And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, **28 **And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, **29 **And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these *were* the sons of Joktan. **30 **And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. **31 **These *are* the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

**32 **These *are* the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
