¹ These are the descendants of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, to whom sons were born after the flood:

² Japheth's sons: Gomer, Magog, the Medes, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, Tiras.

³ Gomer's sons: Ashkenaz, Riphath, Togarmah.

⁴ Javan's sons: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim, the Dananites.

⁵ From these came the dispersal to the islands of the nations. These were Japheth's sons, in their respective countries, each with its own language, by clan and nation.

⁶ Ham's sons: Cush, Mizraim, Put, Canaan.

⁷ Cush's sons: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, Sabteca. Raamah's sons: Sheba, Dedan.

⁸ Cush fathered Nimrod who was the first potentate on earth.

⁹ He was a mighty hunter in the eyes of Yahweh, hence the saying, 'Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter in the eyes of Yahweh'.

¹⁰ The mainstays of his empire were Babel, Erech and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar.

¹¹ From this country came Asshur, and he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,

¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (this being the capital).

¹³ Mizraim fathered the people of Lud, of Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh,

¹⁴ Pathros, Casluh and Caphtor, from which the Philistines came.

¹⁵ Canaan fathered Sidon, his first-born, then Heth,

¹⁶ and the Jebusites, the Amorites, Girgashites,

¹⁷ Hivites, Arkites, Sinites,

¹⁸ Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites. Later, the Canaanite clans spread out.

¹⁹ The Canaanite frontier stretched from Sidon all the way to Gerar near Gaza, and all the way to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim near Lesha.

²⁰ These were Ham's sons, by clans and languages, by countries and nations.

²¹ Shem too fathered sons, being ancestor of all the sons of Eber and Japheth's elder brother.

²² Shem's sons: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, Aram.

²³ Aram's sons: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash.

²⁴ Arpachshad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber.

²⁵ To Eber were born two sons: the first was called Peleg, because it was in his time that the earth was divided, and his brother was called Joktan.

²⁶ Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

²⁷ Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

²⁸ Obal, Abima-El, Sheba,

²⁹ Ophir, Havilah, Jobab; all these were sons of Joktan.

³⁰ They occupied a stretch of country from Mesha all the way to Sephar, the eastern mountain range.

³¹ These were Shem's sons, by clans and languages, by countries and nations.

³² Such were the clans of Noah's descendants, listed by descent and nation. From them, other nations branched out on earth after the flood.
