| 1 These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood. | |
| 2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras. | |
| 3 And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma. | |
| 4 And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim. | |
| 5 By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations. | |
| 6 And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan. | |
| 7 And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan. | |
| 8 Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth. | |
| 9 And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord. | |
| 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar. | |
| 11 Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale. | |
| 12 Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city. | |
| 13 And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim, | |
| 14 And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim. | |
| 15 And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite, | |
| 16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite, | |
| 17 The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite, | |
| 18 And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad. | |
| 19 And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa. | |
| 20 These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations. | |
| 21 Of Sem also, the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born. | |
| 22 The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. | |
| 23 The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether, and Mess. | |
| 24 But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber. | |
| 25 And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name Jectan. | |
| 26 Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare, | |
| 27 And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla, | |
| 28 And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba, | |
| 29 And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan. | |
| 30 And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east. | |
| 31 These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations. | |
| 32 These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood. | |
