1 Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.
These are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and of the sons who were born to them after the great flood.
2 The sons of Japheth, Gamer, and Magog, and Madoi, and Jovan, and Elisa, and Thobel, and Mosoch, and Thiras.
The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gamer, Aschanaz, and Riphath, and Thorgama.
And then the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 And the sons of Jovan, Elisa, and Tharseis, Cetians, Rhodians.
And the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.
5 From these were the islands of the Gentiles divided in their land, each according to his tongue, in their tribes and in their nations.
The islands of the Gentiles were divided by these into their regions, each one according to his tongue, and their families in their nations.
6 And the sons of Cham, Chus, and Mesrain, Phud, and Chanaan.
And the Sons of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

And the sons of Cush were Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dadan.
8 And Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth.
And then Cush conceived Nimrod; he began to be powerful on the earth.
9 He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord.
And he was an able hunter before the Lord. From this, a proverb came forth: ‘Just like Nimrod, an able hunter before the Lord.’
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar.
And so, the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Chalanne, in the land of Shinar.
11 Out of that land came Assur, and built Ninevi, and the city Rhooboth, and Chalach,
From that land, Assur came forth, and he built Nineveh, and the streets of the city, and Calah,
12 and Dase between Ninevi and Chalach: this is the great city.
and also Resen, between Nineveh and Calah. This is a great city.
13 And Mesrain begot the Ludiim, and the Nephthalim, and the Enemetiim, and the Labiim,
And truly, Mizraim conceived Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
14 and the Patrosoniim, and the Chasmoniim (whence came forth Phylistiim) and the Gaphthoriim.
and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, from whom came forth the Philistines and the Caphtorim.
15 And Chanaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and the Chettite,
Then Canaan conceived Sidon his firstborn, the Hittite,
16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, the Girgashite,
17 and the Evite, and the Arukite, and the Asennite,
the Hivite, and the Arkite: the Sinite,
18 and the Aradian, and the Samarean, and the Amathite; and after this the tribes of the Chananites were dispersed.
and the Arvadian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite. And after this, the peoples of the Canaanites became widespread.
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.
And the borders of Canaan went, as one travels, from Sidon to Gerar, even to Gaza, until one enters Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Admah and Zeboiim, even to Lesa.
20 There [were] the sons of Cham in their tribes according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
These are the sons of Ham in their kindred, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
21 And to Sem himself also were children born, the father of all the sons of Heber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
Likewise, from Shem, the father of all the sons of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.
22 Sons of Sem, Elam, and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Cainan.
The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And sons of Aram, Uz, and Ul, and Gater, and Mosoch.
The sons of Aram were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And Arphaxad begot Cainan, and Cainan begot Sala. And Sala begot Heber.
But truly, Arphaxad conceived Shelah, from whom was born Eber.
25 And to Heber were born two sons, the name of the one, Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother Jektan.
And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth became divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan.
26 And Jektan begot Elmodad, and Saleth, and Sarmoth, and Jarach,
This Joktan conceived Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, Jerah
27 and Odorrha, and Aibel, and Decla,
and Hadoram, and Uzal and Diklah,
28 Eval, and Abimael, and Saba,
and Obal and Abimael, Sheba
29 and Uphir, and Evila, and Jobab, all these were the sons of Jektan.
and Ophir, and Havilah and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
30 And their dwelling was from Masse, till one comes to Saphera, a mountain of the east.
And their habitation extended from Messa, as one sojourns, even to Sephar, a mountain in the east.
31 These were the sons of Sem in their tribes, according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
These are the sons of Shem according to their kindred, and tongues, and the regions within their nations.
32 These are the tribes of the sons of Noe, according to their generations, according to their nations: of them were the islands of the Gentiles scattered over the earth after the flood.
These are the families of Noah, according to their peoples and nations. The nations became divided according to these, on the earth after the great flood.
