2The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5From these the coastlands of the nations separated into their lands, each according to his language, according to their families, in their nations. 6And the sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 7And the sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. 9He was a mighty hunter before YHWH; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before YHWH.” 10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11From that land he went out to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, 12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 13And Mizraim fathered the Ludim, the Anamim, the Lehabim, the Naphtuhim, 14the Pathrusim, the Casluhim (from where the Philistines came out), and the Caphtorim. 15And Canaan fathered Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth, 16and the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite, 17the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite, 18the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. 19And the territory of the Canaanites was from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar, as far as Gaza; in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, in their nations. 21And to Shem also, to him, sons were born, the father of all the sons of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth. 22The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23And the sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24And Arpachshad fathered Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber. 25And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and the name of his brother was Joktan.
