The Descendants of the Sons of Noah | |
1 Chr. 1.5-23 | |
1 |
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah; Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. |
2 |
¶ The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Ma’dai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. |
3 |
And the sons of Gomer; Ash’kenaz, and Riphath, and Togar’mah. |
4 |
And the sons of Javan; Eli’shah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Do’danim. |
5 |
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. |
6 |
¶ And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Miz’ra-im, and Phut, and Canaan. |
7 |
And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Hav’ilah, and Sabtah, and Ra’amah, and Sab’techa: and the sons of Ra’amah; Sheba, and Dedan. |
8 |
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. |
9 |
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. |
10 |
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. |
11 |
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nin’eveh, and the city Reho’both, and Calah, |
12 |
and Resen between Nin’eveh and Calah: the same is a great city. |
13 |
And Miz’ra-im begat Ludim, and An’amim, and Le’habim, and Naph’tuhim, |
14 |
and Path’rusim, and Cas’luhim, (out of whom came Phil’istim,) and Caph’torim. |
15 |
¶ And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, |
16 |
and the Jeb’usite, and the Amorite, and the Gir’gashite, |
17 |
and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, |
18 |
and the Ar’vadite, and the Zem’arite, and the Ha’mathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. |
19 |
And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zebo’im, even unto Lasha. |
20 |
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. |
21 |
¶ Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. |
22 |
The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphax’ad, and Lud, and Aram. |
23 |
And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. |
24 |
And Arphax’ad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. |
25 |
And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; 7 for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. |
26 |
And Joktan begat Almo’dad, and Sheleph, and Ha’zar–ma’veth, and Jerah, |
27 |
and Hador’am, and Uzal, and Diklah, |
28 |
and Obal, and Abim’a-el, and Sheba, |
29 |
and Ophir, and Hav’ilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. |
30 |
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar, a mount of the east. |
31 |
These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. |
32 |
¶ These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. |
