Genesis 10:21-32
New King James Version
21 And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, [a]the brother of Japheth the elder. 22 The (A)sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, (B)Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and [b]Mash. 24 [c]Arphaxad begot (C)Salah, and Salah begot Eber. 25 (D)To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was [d]Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26 Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 [e]Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwelling place was from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. 31 These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations.
32 (E)These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; (F)and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
