19 迦南的境界是從西頓向基拉耳的路上,直到迦薩,又向所多瑪、蛾摩拉、押瑪、洗扁的路上,直到拉沙。
Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.
20 這就是含的後裔,各隨他們的宗族、方言,所住的地土、邦國。
All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.

And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26 約坍生亞摩答、沙列、哈薩瑪非、耶拉、
And Joktan was the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah
27 哈多蘭、烏薩、德拉、
And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah

30 他們所住的地方是從米沙直到西發東邊的山。
And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, the mountain of the east.
