21 Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the older brother of Japheth, children were born. 22 (A)The sons of Shem were (B)Elam, Asshur, (C)Arpachshad, (D)Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram were (E)Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24 Arpachshad fathered (F)Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber. 25 (G)Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was [a]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 [b]Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all of these were the sons of Joktan. 30 Now their [c]settlement [d]extended from Mesha [e]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 (H)out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
