1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah [Rest] and of Shem [Name], Ham [Hot, Intensity, Passion], and Japheth [Enlargement, Spreading wide]. Sons were born to them after the flood.
Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth [Enlargement, Spreading wide] were: Gomer, Magog [From roof-top], Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

4 The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
And the sons of Jovan, Elisa, and Tharseis, Cetians, Rhodians.
5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

8 Cush became the father of Nimrod [Let us rebel]. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.
And Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before Adonai. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod [Let us rebel], a mighty hunter before Adonai”.
He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord.
10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel [Confusion], Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar.
11 Out of that land he went into Assyria [Level plain], and built Nineveh [Offspring’s Habitation], Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
Out of that land came Assur, and built Ninevi, and the city Rhooboth, and Chalach,

19 The border of the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] was from Sidon— as you go toward Gerar— to Gaza— as you go toward Sodom [Burning], Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], Admah, and Zeboiim— to Lasha.
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.
