1Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.
1These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.
2The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
2The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.
3The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
3And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.
4The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
4And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim.
5Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.
5By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.
6The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
6And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.
7The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan.
7And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan.
8Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one on the earth.
8Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD”.
9And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.
10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.
11Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
11Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.
12and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah.
12Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.
13Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
13And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,
14Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.
14And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.
15Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,
15And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,
16the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
16And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,
17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
17The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,
18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
18And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.
19The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha.
19And 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.
20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.
20These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
21Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber.
21Of Sem also, the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

24Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.
24But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.
25To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan.
25And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother’s name Jectan.
26Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
26Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,
27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
