The Generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth

1 Now these ^H428 are the generations ^H8435 of Shem ^H8035, Ham ^H2526, and Japheth ^H3315, the sons ^H1121 of Noah ^H5146; and sons ^H1121 were born ^H3205 to them after ^H310 the flood ^H3999.

2 The sons ^H1121 of Japheth ^H3315 were Gomer ^H1586 and Magog ^H4031 and Madai ^H4074 and Javan ^H3120 and Tubal ^H8422 and Meshech ^H4902 and Tiras ^H8494.

3 The sons ^H1121 of Gomer ^H1586 were Ashkenaz ^H813 and [fn]Riphath ^H7384 and Togarmah ^H8425. 4 The sons ^H1121 of Javan ^H3120 were Elishah ^H473 and Tarshish ^H8659, Kittim ^H3794 and [fn]Dodanim ^H1721. 5 From these ^H428 the coastlands ^H339 of the nations ^H1471 [fn]were separated ^H6504 into their lands ^H776, every ^H376 one ^H376 according to his tongue ^H3956, according to their families ^H4940, into their nations ^H1471.

6 The sons ^H1121 of Ham ^H2526 were Cush ^H3568 and [fn]Mizraim ^H4714 and Put ^H6316 and Canaan ^H3667. 7 The sons ^H1121 of Cush ^H3568 were Seba ^H5434 and Havilah ^H2341 and Sabtah ^H5454 and Raamah ^H7484 and Sabteca ^H5455; and the sons ^H1121 of Raamah ^H7484 were Sheba ^H7614 and Dedan ^H1719. 8 Now Cush ^H3568 [fn]was ^H3205 the father ^H3205 of Nimrod ^H5248; he began ^H2490 to be ^H1961 a mighty ^H1368 one ^H1368 on the earth ^H776. 9 He was a mighty ^H1368 hunter ^H6718 before ^H6440 Yahweh ^H3068; therefore ^H5921 H3651 it is said ^H559, “Like Nimrod ^H5248 a mighty ^H1368 hunter ^H6718 before ^H6440 Yahweh ^H3068.” 10 The beginning ^H7225 of his kingdom ^H4467 was [fn]Babel ^H894 and Erech ^H751 and Accad ^H390 and Calneh ^H3641, in the land ^H776 of Shinar ^H8152. 11 From that land ^H776 he went ^H3318 out ^H3318 to Assyria ^H804 and built ^H1129 Nineveh ^H5210 and Rehoboth-Ir ^H7344 and Calah ^H3625, 12 and Resen ^H7449 between ^H996 Nineveh ^H5210 and Calah ^H3625; that is the great ^H1419 city ^H5892. 13 Mizraim ^H4714 [fn]was ^H3205 the father ^H3205 of Ludim ^H3866 and Anamim ^H6047 and Lehabim ^H3853 and Naphtuhim ^H5320 14 and Pathrusim ^H6625 and Casluhim ^H3695 (from whom ^H834 came ^H3318 the Philistines ^H6430) and Caphtorim ^H3732.

15 Canaan ^H3667 [fn]was ^H3205 the father ^H3205 of Sidon ^H6721, his firstborn ^H1060, and Heth ^H2845 16 and the Jebusite ^H2983 and the Amorite ^H567 and the Girgashite ^H1622 17 and the Hivite ^H2340 and the Arkite ^H6208 and the Sinite ^H5513 18 and the Arvadite ^H721 and the Zemarite ^H6786 and the Hamathite ^H2577; and afterward ^H310 the families ^H4940 of the Canaanite ^H3669 were scattered ^H6327. 19 The border ^H1366 of the Canaanite ^H3669 [fn]extended ^H1961 from Sidon ^H6721 as you go ^H935 toward Gerar ^H1642, as far ^H5704 as Gaza ^H5804; as you go ^H935 toward Sodom ^H5467 and Gomorrah ^H6017 and Admah ^H126 and Zeboiim ^H6636, as far ^H5704 as Lasha ^H3962. 20 These ^H428 are the sons ^H1121 of Ham ^H2526, according to their families ^H4940, according to their tongues ^H3956, by their lands ^H776, by their nations ^H1471.

21 Also ^H1571 to Shem ^H8035, the father ^H1 of all ^H3605 the children ^H1121 of Eber ^H5677, and the [fn]older ^H1419 brother ^H251 of Japheth ^H3315, children were born ^H3205. 22 The sons ^H1121 of Shem ^H8035 were Elam ^H5867 and Asshur ^H804 and Arpachshad ^H775 and Lud ^H3865 and Aram ^H758. 23 The sons ^H1121 of Aram ^H758 were Uz ^H5780 and Hul ^H2343 and Gether ^H1666 and Mash ^H4851. 24 Arpachshad ^H775 [fn]was ^H3205 the father ^H3205 of Shelah ^H7974; and Shelah ^H7974 [fn]was ^H3205 the father ^H3205 of Eber ^H5677. 25 Now two ^H8147 sons ^H1121 were born ^H3205 to Eber ^H5677; the name ^H8034 of the one ^H259 was [fn]Peleg ^H6389, for in his days ^H3117 the earth ^H776 was divided ^H6385; and his brother’s ^H251 name ^H8034 was Joktan ^H3355. 26 And Joktan ^H3355 [fn]was ^H3205 the father ^H3205 of Almodad ^H486 and Sheleph ^H8026 and Hazarmaveth ^H2700 and Jerah ^H3392 27 and Hadoram ^H1913 and Uzal ^H187 and Diklah ^H1853 28 and [fn]Obal ^H5745 and Abimael ^H39 and Sheba ^H7614 29 and Ophir ^H211 and Havilah ^H2341 and Jobab ^H3103; all ^H3605 these ^H428 were the sons ^H1121 of Joktan ^H3355.

30 Now their [fn]settlement ^H4186 [fn]extended ^H1961 from Mesha ^H4852 as you go ^H935 toward Sephar ^H5611, the hill ^H2022 country ^H2022 of the east ^H6924. 31 These ^H428 are the sons ^H1121 of Shem ^H8035, according to their families ^H4940, according to their tongues ^H3956, by their lands ^H776, according to their nations ^H1471.

32 These ^H428 are the families ^H4940 of the sons ^H1121 of Noah ^H5146, according to their generations ^H8435, by their nations ^H1471; and out of these ^H428 the nations ^H1471 were separated ^H6504 on the earth ^H776 after ^H310 the flood ^H3999.
