1 These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.

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

The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim.

The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.

5 By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.

From these, the coastlands of the nations separated into their territories, every one according to its language, according to their families, in their nations.

6 And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.

8 Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.

Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one on the earth.

9 And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.

He was a mighty hunter before God. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before God."

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.

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

11 Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.

Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth Ir, and Calah,

12 Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.

and Resen, between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.

13 And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,

And Mizraim became the father of Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

14 And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.

And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, which the Philistines descended from, and Caphtorim.

15 And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,

And Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,

16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,

17 The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,

and the Hivites, and the Arkites, and the Sinites,

18 And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.

and the Arvadites, and the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

19 And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.

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

20 These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.

These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

21 Of Sem also, the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

24 But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.

And Arpachshad became the father of Kenan. And Kenan became the father of Shelah. And Shelah became the father of Eber.

25 And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother’s name Jectan.

To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

31 These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.
