1Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.

1וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ תּוֹלְדֹ֣ת בְּנֵי־ נֹ֔חַ שֵׁ֖ם חָ֣ם וָיָ֑פֶת וַיִּוָּלְד֥וּ לָהֶ֛ם בָּנִ֖ים אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃

2The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

2בְּנֵ֣י יֶ֔פֶת גֹּ֣מֶר וּמָג֔וֹג וּמָדַ֖י וְיָוָ֣ן וְתֻבָ֑ל וּמֶ֖שֶׁךְ וְתִירָֽס׃

3The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

3וּבְנֵ֖י גֹּ֑מֶר אַשְׁכֲּנַ֥ז וְרִיפַ֖ת וְתֹגַרְמָֽה׃

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

4וּבְנֵ֥י יָוָ֖ן אֱלִישָׁ֣ה וְתַרְשִׁ֑ישׁ כִּתִּ֖ים וְדֹדָנִֽים׃

5From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.

5מֵ֠אֵלֶּה נִפְרְד֞וּ אִיֵּ֤י הַגּוֹיִם֙ בְּאַרְצֹתָ֔ם אִ֖ישׁ לִלְשֹׁנ֑וֹ לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃

6The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

6וּבְנֵ֖י חָ֑ם כּ֥וּשׁ וּמִצְרַ֖יִם וּפ֥וּט וּכְנָֽעַן׃

7The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

7וּבְנֵ֣י כ֔וּשׁ סְבָא֙ וַֽחֲוִילָ֔ה וְסַבְתָּ֥ה וְרַעְמָ֖ה וְסַבְתְּכָ֑א וּבְנֵ֥י רַעְמָ֖ה שְׁבָ֥א וּדְדָֽן׃

8Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.

8וְכ֖וּשׁ יָלַ֣ד אֶת־ נִמְרֹ֑ד ה֣וּא הֵחֵ֔ל לִֽהְי֥וֹת גִּבֹּ֖ר בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.”

9הֽוּא־ הָיָ֥ה גִבֹּֽר־ צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה עַל־ כֵּן֙ יֵֽאָמַ֔ר כְּנִמְרֹ֛ד גִּבּ֥וֹר צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

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

10וַתְּהִ֨י רֵאשִׁ֤ית מַמְלַכְתּוֹ֙ בָּבֶ֔ל וְאֶ֖רֶךְ וְאַכַּ֣ד וְכַלְנֵ֑ה בְּאֶ֖רֶץ שִׁנְעָֽר׃

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

11מִן־ הָאָ֥רֶץ הַהִ֖וא יָצָ֣א אַשּׁ֑וּר וַיִּ֙בֶן֙ אֶת־ נִ֣ינְוֵ֔ה וְאֶת־ רְחֹבֹ֥ת עִ֖יר וְאֶת־ כָּֽלַח׃

12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).

12וְֽאֶת־ רֶ֔סֶן בֵּ֥ין נִֽינְוֵ֖ה וּבֵ֣ין כָּ֑לַח הִ֖וא הָעִ֥יר הַגְּדֹלָֽה׃

13Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

13וּמִצְרַ֡יִם יָלַ֞ד אֶת־ לוּדִ֧ים וְאֶת־ עֲנָמִ֛ים וְאֶת־ לְהָבִ֖ים וְאֶת־ נַפְתֻּחִֽים׃

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

14וְֽאֶת־ פַּתְרֻסִ֞ים וְאֶת־ כַּסְלֻחִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָצְא֥וּ מִשָּׁ֛ם פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים וְאֶת־ כַּפְתֹּרִֽים׃ ס

15Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth;

15וּכְנַ֗עַן יָלַ֛ד אֶת־ צִידֹ֥ן בְּכֹר֖וֹ וְאֶת־ חֵֽת׃

16the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite;

16וְאֶת־ הַיְבוּסִי֙ וְאֶת־ הָ֣אֱמֹרִ֔י וְאֵ֖ת הַגִּרְגָּשִֽׁי׃

17the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite;

17וְאֶת־ הַֽחִוִּ֥י וְאֶת־ הַֽעַרְקִ֖י וְאֶת־ הַסִּינִֽי׃

18the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.

18וְאֶת־ הָֽאַרְוָדִ֥י וְאֶת־ הַצְּמָרִ֖י וְאֶת־ הַֽחֲמָתִ֑י וְאַחַ֣ר נָפֹ֔צוּ מִשְׁפְּח֖וֹת הַֽכְּנַעֲנִֽי׃

19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

19וַֽיְהִ֞י גְּב֤וּל הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙ מִצִּידֹ֔ן בֹּאֲכָ֥ה גְרָ֖רָה עַד־ עַזָּ֑ה בֹּאֲכָ֞ה סְדֹ֧מָה וַעֲמֹרָ֛ה וְאַדְמָ֥ה וּצְבֹיִ֖ם עַד־ לָֽשַׁע׃

20These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.

20אֵ֣לֶּה בְנֵי־ חָ֔ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם לִלְשֹֽׁנֹתָ֑ם בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃ ס

21And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

21וּלְשֵׁ֥ם יֻלַּ֖ד גַּם־ ה֑וּא אֲבִי֙ כָּל־ בְּנֵי־ עֵ֔בֶר אֲחִ֖י יֶ֥פֶת הַגָּדֽוֹל׃

22The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

22בְּנֵ֥י שֵׁ֖ם עֵילָ֣ם וְאַשּׁ֑וּר וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁ֖ד וְל֥וּד וַֽאֲרָֽם׃

23The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

23וּבְנֵ֖י אֲרָ֑ם ע֥וּץ וְח֖וּל וְגֶ֥תֶר וָמַֽשׁ׃

24Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber.

24וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁ֖ד יָלַ֣ד אֶת־ שָׁ֑לַח וְשֶׁ֖לַח יָלַ֥ד אֶת־ עֵֽבֶר׃

25To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

25וּלְעֵ֥בֶר יֻלַּ֖ד שְׁנֵ֣י בָנִ֑ים שֵׁ֣ם הָֽאֶחָ֞ד פֶּ֗לֶג כִּ֤י בְיָמָיו֙ נִפְלְגָ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ וְשֵׁ֥ם אָחִ֖יו יָקְטָֽן׃

26Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

26וְיָקְטָ֣ן יָלַ֔ד אֶת־ אַלְמוֹדָ֖ד וְאֶת־ שָׁ֑לֶף וְאֶת־ חֲצַרְמָ֖וֶת וְאֶת־ יָֽרַח׃

27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

27וְאֶת־ הֲדוֹרָ֥ם וְאֶת־ אוּזָ֖ל וְאֶת־ דִּקְלָֽה׃

28Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

28וְאֶת־ עוֹבָ֥ל וְאֶת־ אֲבִֽימָאֵ֖ל וְאֶת־ שְׁבָֽא׃

29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

29וְאֶת־ אוֹפִ֥ר וְאֶת־ חֲוִילָ֖ה וְאֶת־ יוֹבָ֑ב כָּל־ אֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵ֥י יָקְטָֽן׃

30And their dwelling place was from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

30וַֽיְהִ֥י מוֹשָׁבָ֖ם מִמֵּשָׁ֑א בֹּאֲכָ֥ה סְפָ֖רָה הַ֥ר הַקֶּֽדֶם׃

31These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations.

31אֵ֣לֶּה בְנֵי־ שֵׁ֔ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם לִלְשֹׁנֹתָ֑ם בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם לְגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃

32These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.

32אֵ֣לֶּה מִשְׁפְּחֹ֧ת בְּנֵי־ נֹ֛חַ לְתוֹלְדֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶ֑ם וּמֵאֵ֜לֶּה נִפְרְד֧וּ הַגּוֹיִ֛ם בָּאָ֖רֶץ אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃ פ
