The Sons of Shem
21 Sons were also born to Shem, Japheth’s younger brother. All the sons of Eber belonged to Shem’s family line.
22 The sons of Shem were
Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram.
23 The sons of Aram were
Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshek.
24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah.
Shelah was the father of Eber.
25 Eber had two sons.
One was named Peleg. That’s because the earth was divided up in his time. His brother was named Joktan.
26 Joktan was the father of
Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. They were all sons of Joktan.
30 The area where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar. It was in the eastern hill country.
31 These are the sons of Shem. They are listed by their tribes and languages in their territories and nations.
32 These are the tribes of Noah’s sons. They are listed by their family lines within their nations. From them the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.
