Descendants of Noah

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

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

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

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

²¹ Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the older brother of Japheth, children were born. ^22 (X)The sons of Shem were ^(Y)Elam, Asshur, ^(Z)Arpachshad, ^(AA)Lud, and Aram. ²³ The sons of Aram were ^(AB)Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. ²⁴ Arpachshad fathered ^(AC)Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber. ^25 (AD)Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was ^[i]Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. ²⁶ Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, ²⁷ Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, ^28 [j]Obal, Abimael, Sheba, ²⁹ Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all of these were the sons of Joktan. ³⁰ Now their ^[k]settlement ^[l]extended from Mesha ^[m]going toward Sephar, the hill country of the east. ³¹ These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and according to their nations.

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