¶ Now these are the¹ generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto² them were sons born after the flood.

³The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim⁴, and Dodanim⁵.

By these were the isles⁶ of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his⁷ tongue, after their families, in their nations.

¶ And the⁸ sons of Ham⁹; Cush¹⁰, and Mizraim, and Phut¹¹, and Canaan.

And the sons of Cush; Seba¹², and Havilah¹³, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba¹⁴, and Dedan¹⁵.

And Cush begat Nimrod¹⁶: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

He was a mighty¹⁷ hunter before the LORD¹⁸: wherefore it is said, Even¹⁹ as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

¶ And the²⁰ beginning of his kingdom was Babel²¹, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh²², in the land of Shinar²³.

Out of that land went forth Asshur²⁴, and builded Nineveh²⁵, and the city²⁶ Rehoboth, and Calah,

And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

And Mizraim begat Ludim²⁷, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

And Pathrusim²⁸, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim²⁹,) and Caphtorim³⁰.

¶ And Canaan³¹ begat Sidon³² his firstborn, and Heth³³,

And the Jebusite³⁴, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

And the Hivite³⁵, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

And the Arvadite³⁶, and the Zemarite³⁷, and the Hamathite³⁸: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

And the³⁹ border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest⁴⁰ to Gerar⁴¹, unto Gaza⁴²; as thou goest, unto Sodom⁴³, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

¶⁴⁴These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

¶ Unto Shem⁴⁵ also, the father⁴⁶ of all the children of Eber⁴⁷, the brother⁴⁸ of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.

The children⁴⁹ of Shem; Elam⁵⁰, and Asshur, and Arphaxad⁵¹, and Lud, and Aram⁵².

And the children of Aram; Uz⁵³, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

And Arphaxad begat Salah⁵⁴; and Salah begat Eber.

And unto Eber⁵⁵ were born two sons: the name⁵⁶ of one was Peleg⁵⁷; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

⁵⁸And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

⁵⁹And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

And⁶⁰ Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

And Ophir⁶¹, and Havilah⁶², and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.

¶ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east⁶³.

⁶⁴These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

These are the⁶⁵ families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by⁶⁶ these were the nations⁶⁷ divided in the earth after the flood.
