^IAnd these are the records of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Yaphet: And children were born to them after the flood. ²Yaphet’s children were Gomer and Magog and Madai and Yawan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras. ³And Gomer’s children were Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah. ⁴And Yawan’s children were Elisha and Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim. ⁵The islands of the nations in their lands were dispersed out from these, each by its language, by their families within their nations.

⁶And Ham’s children were Cush and Egypt and Put and Canaan. ⁷And Cush’s children were Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca. And Raamah’s children were Sheba and Dedan. ⁸And Cush fathered Nimrod. He began being a man of power in the earth. ⁹He was a powerful hunter before YHWH. On account of this it is said: “A powerful hunter before YHWH like Nimrod!” ¹⁰And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon and Erech and Akkad and Calneh in the land of Shinar. ^IIAsshur came out of that land and built Nineveh and Rehovoth-Ir and Calah, ¹²and Resen between Nineveh and Calah. It is the big city. ¹³And Egypt fathered Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim ¹⁴and Pathrusim and Casluhim, from which the Philistines came out, and Caphtorim. ¹⁵And Canaan fathered Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth ¹⁶and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite ¹⁷and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite ¹⁸and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite. And later the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. ¹⁹And the Canaanite border was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, up to Gaza, as you come to Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, up to Lasha. ²⁰These are Ham’s children, by their families, by their languages, in their lands, within their nations.

^2IChildren were born to Shem, him as well, father of all of Eber’s children, older brother of Yaphet. ²²Shem’s children were Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram. ²³And Aram’s children were Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. ²⁴And Arpachshad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber. ²⁵And two sons were born to Eber. The name of one was Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan. ²⁶And Joktan fathered Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah ²⁷and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah ²⁸and Obal and Abimael and Sheba ²⁹and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab. All these are Joktan’s children. ³⁰And their home was from Mesha, as you come to Sephar, to the mountain of the east. ³¹These are Shem’s children, by their families, by their languages, in their lands, by their nations.

³²These are the families of Noah’s children by their records in their nations, and the nations were dispersed from these in the earth after the flood.
