(1 Chronicles 1:4–27)
1
And these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and sons are born to them after the flood.

The Japhethites

2
Sons of Japheth [are] Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3
And sons of Gomer [are] Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4
And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5
By these the islands of the nations have been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.

The Hamites

6
And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7
And sons of Cush [are] Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah [are] Sheba and Dedan.
8
And Cush has begotten Nimrod;
9
he has begun to be a hero in the land; he has been a hero in hunting before YHWH; therefore it is said, “As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before YHWH.”
10
And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;
11
from that land he has gone out to Asshur, and builds Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,
12
and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city.
13
And Mitzraim has begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,
14
and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim (from where have come out Philistim), and the Caphtorim.
15
And Canaan has begotten 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 have been scattered.
19
And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, [in] your coming toward Gerar, to Gaza; [in] your coming toward Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, to Lasha.
20
These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

The Semites

21
As for Shem, father of all sons of Eber, the older brother of Japheth, he has also begotten.
22
Sons of Shem [are] Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23
And sons of Aram [are] Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24
And Arphaxad has begotten Salah, and Salah has begotten Eber.
25
And two sons have been born to Eber; the name of the first [is] Peleg (for in his days the earth has been divided), and his brother’s name [is] Joktan.
26
And Joktan has begotten 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 [are] sons of Joktan;
30
and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] your coming toward Sephar, a mountain of the east.
31
These [are] sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations.
32
These [are] families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, in their nations, and by these the nations have been parted in the earth after the flood.

1
Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

The Japhethites

2
The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
3
The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
4
The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5
Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

The Hamites

6
The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
7
The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan.
8
Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD”.
10
The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11
Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
12
and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah.
13
Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
14
Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.
15
Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,
16
the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
17
the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
18
the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
19
The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha.
20
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.

The Semites

21
Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber.
22
The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
23
The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
24
Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.
25
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.
26
Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
27
Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
28
Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
29
Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
30
Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
31
These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations.
32
These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these in the earth after the flood.
