These are the records of the generations (descendants) of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and the sons born to them after the flood:

2 ^athe sons of Japheth: ^bGomer, Magog, ^cMadai, ^dJavan, Tubal, ^eMeshech, and Tiras; 3 the sons of Gomer: ^aAshkenaz, Riphath, and ^bTogarmah; 4 the sons of Javan: Elishah, ^aTarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 From these, the people of the coastlands of the nations were separated and spread into their lands, every one ¹according to his own language, according to their constituent groups (families) , and into their nations:

6 ^athe sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim from whom descended the Egyptians, Put, and Canaan; 7 the sons of Cush: ^aSeba, Havilah, Sabtah, ^bRaamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah; ^cSheba and ^dDedan. 8 Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.” 10 The beginning of his kingdom was ^1aBabel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of ^bShinar in Babylonia. 11 From that land Nimrod went ^ato Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah, 12 and Nimrod built Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; all these combined to form the great city Nineveh. Jon 1:2; 3:2 13 Mizraim the ancestor of the Egyptians became the father of ^aLudim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim 14 ^aand Pathrusim and Casluhim—from whom came the Philistines—and Caphtorim.

15 Canaan became the father of ^aSidon, his firstborn, and ^bHeth 16 ^aand the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite 17 and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite 18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad. 19 ^aThe territory of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as one goes to Gerar, as far as Gaza; and as one goes to ^1bSodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20 These are the descendants of Ham according to their constituent groups, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations.

21 Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber including the Hebrews, the ¹older brother of Japheth, children were born. 22 ^aThe sons of Shem: ^bElam, Asshur, ^cArpachshad, ^dLud and Aram; 23 the sons of Aram ancestor of the Syrians: ^aUz, Hul, Gether and ¹Mash. 24 Arpachshad became the father of ^aShelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. 25 ^aTwo sons were born to Eber; the name of one was Peleg (division) , for the inhabitants of the earth were divided in his days; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 and Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 and ¹Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 and Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 30 Now their territory extended from Mesha as one goes toward Sephar, to the hill country of the east. 31 These are Shem’s descendants according to their constituent groups (families) , according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their descendants, by their nations; and ^afrom these people the nations were separated and spread abroad on the earth after the flood. Acts 17:26
