1 Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.
Dette er Noas Sønner, Sem, Kam og Jafets Slægtebog. Efter Vandfloden fødtes der dem Sønner.

8 And Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth.
Og Kusj avlede Nimrod, som var den første Storhersker paa Jorden.
9 He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord.
Han var en vældig Jæger for HERRENS Øjne; derfor siger man: »En vældig Jæger for HERRENS Øjne som Nimrod.«
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar.
Fra først af omfattede hans Rige Babel, Erek, Akkad og Kalne i Sinear;
11 Out of that land came Assur, and built Ninevi, and the city Rhooboth, and Chalach,
fra dette Land drog han til Assyrien og byggede Nineve, Rehobot-Ir, Kela
12 and Dase between Ninevi and Chalach: this is the great city.

17 and the Evite, and the Arukite, and the Asennite,
Hivviterne, Arkiterne, Siniterne,
18 and the Aradian, and the Samarean, and the Amathite; and after this the tribes of the Chananites were dispersed.
Arvaditerne, Zemariterne og Hamatiterne; men senere bredte Kana'anæernes Slægter sig,
19 And the boundaries of the Chananites were from Sidon till one comes to Gerara and Gaza, till one comes to Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, as far as Dasa.
saa at Kana'anæernes Omraade strakte sig fra Zidon i Retning af Gerar indtil Gaza, i Retning af Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma, og Zebojim indtil Lasja.
