## The Generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth 

###### 1
Now these are the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and sons were born to them after the flood. 

###### 2
The sons of Japheth _were_ Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras. 

###### 3
The sons of Gomer _were_ Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah. 

###### 4
The sons of Javan _were_ Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim. 

###### 5
From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his tongue, according to their families, into their nations. 

###### 6
The sons of Ham _were_ Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan. 

###### 7
The sons of Cush _were_ Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah _were_ Sheba and Dedan. 

###### 8
Now Cush was the father of Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. 

###### 9
He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yahweh." 

###### 10
The beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 

###### 11
From that land he went out to Assyria and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, 

###### 12
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 

###### 13
Mizraim was the father of Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim 

###### 14
and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines) and Caphtorim. 

###### 15
Canaan was the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth 

###### 16
and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite 

###### 17
and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite 

###### 18
and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were scattered. 

###### 19
The border of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 

###### 20
These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, by their lands, 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
The sons of Shem _were_ Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram. 

###### 23
The sons of Aram _were_ Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. 

###### 24
Arpachshad was the father of Shelah; and Shelah was the father of Eber. 

###### 25
Now two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one _was_ Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name _was_ Joktan. 

###### 26
And Joktan was the father of 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
Now their settlement extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east. 

###### 31
These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, by their lands, according to their nations. 

###### 32
These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, by their nations; and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
