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

²The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.

³And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.

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

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

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

⁷And the sons of Chus: Saba and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁷The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,

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

¹⁹And 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.

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

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

²²The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

²³The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether: and Mess.

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

²⁵And 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.

²⁶Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,

²⁷And Anduram, and Uzal, and Decla,

²⁸And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,

²⁹And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab.

³⁰And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.

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

³²These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.
