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 Sabtechah - : 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 first born, 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 Zeboiim - , 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.
