1 Here is the genealogy of the sons of Noach — Shem, Ham and Yefet; sons were born to them after the flood.
2 The sons (of Yefet) were:
Gomer,
Magog,
Madai,
Yavan,
Tuval,
Meshekh
and Tiras.
3 The sons (of Gomer) were:
Ashkenaz,
Rifat
and Togarmah.
4 The sons (of Yavan) were:
Elishah,
Tarshish,
Kittim
and Dodanim.
5 From these the islands (of the nations) were divided into their lands, each according to its language, according to their families, in their nations.
6 The sons (of Ham) were:
Kush,
Mitzrayim,
Put
and Kena‘an.
7 The sons (of Kush) were:
S’va,
Havilah,
Savta,
Ra‘mah
and Savt’kha.
The sons (of Ra‘mah) were:
Sh’va
and D’dan.
8 Kush fathered Nimrod (who was the first powerful ruler on earth).
9 He was a mighty hunter before Adonai — this is why people say,
“Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Adonai.”
10 His kingdom began with:
Bavel,
Erekh,
Akkad
and Kalneh (in the land of Shin‘ar).
11 Ashur went out from that land and built:
Ninveh
the city Rechovot
Kelach,
12 and Resen (between Ninveh and Kelach) — that one is the great city.
13 Mitzrayim fathered:
the Ludim,
the ‘Anamim,
the L’havim,
the Naftuchim,
14 the Patrusim,
the Kasluchim (from whom came the P’lishtim)
and the Kaftorim.
15 Kena‘an fathered:
Tzidon (his firstborn)
Het,
16 the Y’vusi,
the Emori,
the Girgashi,
17 the Hivi,
the ‘Arki,
the Sini,
18 the Arvadi,
the Tz’mari
and the Hamati.
Afterwards, the families (of the Kena‘ani) were dispersed.
19 The border of the Kena‘ani was from
Tzidon, as you go toward G’rar,
to ‘Azah; as you go toward S’dom,
‘Amora,
Admah
and Tzvoyim, to Lesha.
20 These were the descendants (of Ham) according to their families and languages, in their lands and in their nations.
21 Children were also born to Shem, ancestor of all the descendants of ‘Ever and older brother of Yefet.
22 The sons (of Shem) were:
‘Elam,
Ashur,
Arpakhshad,
Lud
and Aram.
23 The sons (of Aram) were:
‘Utz,
Hul,
Geter
and Mash.
24 Arpakhshad fathered:
Shelach,
and Shelach fathered:
‘Ever.
25 To ‘Ever were born two sons.
One was given the name Peleg [division], because during his lifetime the earth was divided.
His brother’s name was Yoktan.
26 Yoktan fathered:
Almodad,
Shelef,
Hatzar-Mavet,
Yerach,
27 Hadoram,
Uzal,
Diklah,
28 ‘Oval,
Avima’el,
Sheva,
29 Ofir,
Havilah
and Yovav
— all these were the sons of Yoktan.
30 Their territory stretched from Mesha, as you go toward S’far, to the mountain in the east.
31 These were the descendants (of Shem), according to their families and languages, in their lands and in their nations.
32 These were the families (of the sons of Noach) according to their generations, in their nations. From these the nations (of the earth) were divided up after the flood.
