1 Now, these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and there were born to them sons after the flood.

And these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and sons are born to them after the flood.

5 From these, were dispersed [the inhabitants] of the coastlands of the nations, in their lands, each man by his tongue, by their families in their nations.

By these the islands of the nations have been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.

6 And, the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan.

And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

8 And, Cush begat Nimrod.—he, became a hero in the earth;

And Cush has begotten Nimrod;

9 he, became a hero of hunting before Yahweh, for this cause, it is said. Like Nimrod, a hero of hunting before Yahweh.

he has begun to be a hero in the land; he has been a hero in hunting before YHWH; therefore it is said, “As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before YHWH.”

10 So the beginning of his kingdom came to be Babel, and Erech, and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;

11 From that land, went forth Asshur, —and he built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah:

from that land he has gone out to Asshur, and builds Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,

12 and Resen, between Niveveh and Calah, —the same is the great city.

16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;

and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,

17 and the Hivite and the Arkite, and the Sinite:

and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite, —and after-wards, were spread abroad the families of the Canaanite.

and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite have been scattered.

19 And it came to pass that the boundary of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou enterest in towards Gerar unto Gaza, —as thou enterest in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, as far as Lasha.

And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, [in] your coming toward Gerar, to Gaza; [in] your coming toward Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, to Lasha.

20 These, are the sons of Ham, by their families by their tongues, in their lands in their nations.

These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

21 Now, to Shem, father of all the sons of Eber, elder brother of Japheth, to him also, were children born.

As for Shem, father of all sons of Eber, the older brother of Japheth, he has also begotten.

22 The sons of Shem, Elam and Asshur, —and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families by their tongues, in their lands by their nations.
