1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood. 2The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras. 3And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah. 4And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish and Kittim and Dodanim. 5By these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 6And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan. 7And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. 8And Cush begat Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9He was a mighty hunter against the LORD. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod--the mighty hunter against the LORD." 10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11Out of that land he went forth to Assyria, and he built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth Ir, and Calah, 12And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a great city. 13And Mizraim begat Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim, 14And Pathrusim and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines) and Caphtorim. 15And Canaan begat Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth, 16And the Jebusite and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, 17And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 18And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. 19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon (as you come to Gerar) to Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, even to Lasha. 20These were the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 21And to Shem sons were born, even him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. 22The sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arphaxad and Lud and Aram. 23And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. 24And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 25And Eber begat two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 26And Joktan begat Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah, 27And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah, 28And Obal and Abimael and Sheba, 29And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar, a mountain of the east. 31These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, and after their nations. 32These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations; and from these were the nations divided on the earth after the floo A Faithful Version Copyright © 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 York Publishing Company Post Office Box 1038 Hollister, California 95024-1038 All rights reserved.
