Genesis

¹These are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and of the sons who were born to them after the great flood. ↗

²The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ↗

³And then the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. ↗

⁴And the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim. ↗

⁵The islands of the Gentiles were divided by these into their regions, each one according to his tongue, and their families in their nations. ↗

⁶And the Sons of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. ↗

⁷And the sons of Cush were Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dadan. ↗

⁸And then Cush conceived Nimrod; he began to be powerful on the earth. ↗

⁹And he was an able hunter before the Lord. From this, a proverb came forth: ‘Just like Nimrod, an able hunter before the Lord.’ ↗

¹⁰And so, the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Chalanne, in the land of Shinar. ↗

¹¹From that land, Assur came forth, and he built Nineveh, and the streets of the city, and Calah, ↗

¹²and also Resen, between Nineveh and Calah. This is a great city. ↗

¹³And truly, Mizraim conceived Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, Naphtuhim, ↗

¹⁴and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, from whom came forth the Philistines and the Caphtorim. ↗

¹⁵Then Canaan conceived Sidon his firstborn, the Hittite, ↗

¹⁶and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, the Girgashite, ↗

¹⁷the Hivite, and the Arkite: the Sinite, ↗

¹⁸and the Arvadian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite. And after this, the peoples of the Canaanites became widespread. ↗

¹⁹And the borders of Canaan went, as one travels, from Sidon to Gerar, even to Gaza, until one enters Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Admah and Zeboiim, even to Lesa. ↗

²⁰These are the sons of Ham in their kindred, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations. ↗

²¹Likewise, from Shem, the father of all the sons of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born. ↗

²²The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. ↗

²³The sons of Aram were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. ↗

²⁴But truly, Arphaxad conceived Shelah, from whom was born Eber. ↗

²⁵And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth became divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan. ↗

²⁶This Joktan conceived Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, Jerah ↗

²⁷and Hadoram, and Uzal and Diklah, ↗

²⁸and Obal and Abimael, Sheba ↗

²⁹and Ophir, and Havilah and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. ↗

³⁰And their habitation extended from Messa, as one sojourns, even to Sephar, a mountain in the east. ↗

³¹These are the sons of Shem according to their kindred, and tongues, and the regions within their nations. ↗

³²These are the families of Noah, according to their peoples and nations. The nations became divided according to these, on the earth after the great flood. ↗
