The Generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth

10 Now these are the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and sons were born to them after the flood.

^2 (A)The sons of Japheth were ^(B)Gomer and Magog and ^(C)Madai and ^(D)Javan and Tubal and ^(E)Meshech and Tiras. ³ The sons of Gomer were ^(F)Ashkenaz and ^[a]Riphath and ^(G)Togarmah. ⁴ The sons of Javan were Elishah and ^(H)Tarshish, Kittim and ^[b]Dodanim. ⁵ From these the coastlands of the nations ^[c]were separated into their lands, every one according to his tongue, according to their families, into their nations.

^6 (I)The sons of Ham were Cush and ^[d]Mizraim and Put and Canaan. ⁷ The sons of Cush were ^(J)Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and ^(K)Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were ^(L)Sheba and ^(M)Dedan. ⁸ Now Cush ^[e]was the father of Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. ⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yahweh.” ¹⁰ The beginning of his kingdom was ^[f](N)Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of ^(O)Shinar. ¹¹ From that land he went out ^(P)to Assyria and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. ¹³ Mizraim ^[g]was the father of ^(Q)Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim ¹⁴ and ^(R)Pathrusim and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.

¹⁵ Canaan ^[h]was the father of ^(S)Sidon, his firstborn, and ^(T)Heth ¹⁶ and ^(U)the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite ¹⁷ and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite ¹⁸ and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were scattered. ^19 (V)The border of the Canaanite ^[i]extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward ^(W)Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. ²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, by their lands, by their nations.

²¹ Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the ^[j]older brother of Japheth, children were born. ^22 (X)The sons of Shem were ^(Y)Elam and Asshur and ^(Z)Arpachshad and ^(AA)Lud and Aram. ²³ The sons of Aram were ^(AB)Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. ²⁴ Arpachshad ^[k]was the father of ^(AC)Shelah; and Shelah ^[l]was the father of Eber. ^25 (AD)Now two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was ^[m]Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. ²⁶ And Joktan ^[n]was the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah ²⁷ and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah ²⁸ and ^[o]Obal and Abimael and Sheba ²⁹ and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

³⁰ Now their ^[p]settlement ^[q]extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east. ³¹ These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, by their lands, according to their nations.

³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, by their nations; and ^(AE)out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
