These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.
|
2
|
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.
|
3
|
And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.
|
4
|
And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim.
|
5
|
By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.
|
6
|
And the Sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.
|
7
|
And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba, and Dadan.
|
8
|
Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
|
9
|
And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.
|
10
|
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.
|
11
|
Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.
|
12
|
Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.
|
13
|
And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim and Laabim, Nephthuim.
|
14
|
And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.
|
15
|
And Chanaan begot Sidon his firstborn, the Hethite,
|
16
|
And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite.
|
17
|
The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,
|
18
|
And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.
|
19
|
And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.
|
20
|
These are the children of Cham in their kindreds and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
|
21
|
Of Sem also the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.
|
22
|
The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
|
23
|
The sons of Aram: Us, and Hull, and Gether; and Mes.
|
24
|
But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.
|
25
|
And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days was the earth divided: and his brother's name Jectan.
|
26
|
Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,
|
27
|
And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla,
|
28
|
And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,
|
29
|
And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan.
|
30
|
And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.
|
31
|
These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.
|
32
|
These are the families of Noe, according to their people and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.
