kwathi imingcele yeKhenani yasukela eSidoni isiya eGerari kufika eGaza, besekuqonda eSodoma, leGomora, le-Adima leZebhoyimi kuze kuyefika eLasha.)
20 These are the sons of Ham according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.
La yiwo amadodana kaHamu ngokosendo lwawo langezindimi zawo, ezigodini zawo kanye langezizwe zawo.
21 And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth; Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber.
