1 Chronicles 1:17-27
New Century Version
17 Shem’s sons were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
Aram’s sons were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech.
18 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, who was the father of Eber.
19 Eber had two sons. One son was named Peleg,[a] because the people on the earth were divided into different languages during his life. Peleg’s brother was named Joktan.
20 Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 21 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 22 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 23 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were Joktan’s sons. 24 The family line included Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, 25 Eber, Peleg, Reu, 26 Serug, Nahor, Terah, 27 and Abram, who was called Abraham.
