Genesis 10:21-32
1599 Geneva Bible
21 ¶ Unto [a]Shem also the father of all the sons of [b]Eber, and elder brother of Japheth were children born.
22 (A)The sons of Shem were Elam and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And the sons of Aram, Uz and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 Also Arphaxad begat Salah, and Salah begat Eber.
25 Unto Eber also were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg: for in his days was the earth [c]divided: and his brother’s name was Joktan.
26 Then Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest up to Sephar, a mount of the East.
31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues in their countries and nations.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations among their people: and [d]out of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
