19And the terms of Canaan were made to men coming from Sidon to Gerar, till to Gaza, till thou enter into Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboiim, till to Lasha.

20These were the sons of Ham, in their kindreds, and languages, and generations, and lands, and folks.

21Also of Shem were born the fathers of all the sons of Eber, and Japheth was the more, or elder, brother of Shem [or Shem was the more or elder brother of Japheth].

22The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23The sons of Aram were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

24And soothly Arphaxad begat Salah, of whom Eber was born.

25And two sons were born to Eber, the name to the one son was Peleg, for the land was parted in his days; and the name of his brother was Joktan.

26And that Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28and Obal, and Abimael, Sheba,

29and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

30And the habitation of them was made from Mesha, as men goeth till to Sephar, an hill of the east.

31These be the sons of Shem, by kindreds, and languages, and countries, in their folks.

32These be the meines of Noah, by their peoples, and nations; [the] folks [or Gentiles] in [the] earth were parted of these after the great flood.

Berĕshith (Genesis) 10

1And this is the genealogy of the sons of Noaḥ: Shĕm, Ḥam, and Yapheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.

2The sons of Yapheth: Gomer, and Maḡoḡ, and Maḏai, and Yawan, and Tuḇal, and Mesheḵ, and Tiras.

3And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Toḡarmah.

4And the sons of Yawan: Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Doḏanim.

5From these the coastland peoples of the nations were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their clans, into their nations.

6And the sons of Ḥam: Kush, and Mitsrayim, and Put, and Kena‛an.

7And the sons of Kush: Seḇa, and Ḥawilah, and Saḇtah, and Ra‛mah, and Saḇteḵa. And the sons of Ra‛mah: Sheḇa and Deḏan.

8And Kush brought forth Nimroḏ, he began to be a mighty one on the earth.

9He was a mighty hunter before יהוה, therefore it is said, “Like Nimroḏ the mighty hunter before יהוה.”

10And the beginning of his reign was Baḇel, and Ereḵ, and Akkaḏ, and Kalnĕh, in the land of Shin‛ar.

11From that land he went to Ashshur and built Ninewĕh, and Reḥoḇoth Ir, and Kelaḥ,

12and Resen between Ninewĕh and Kelaḥ, the great city.

13And Mitsrayim brought forth Luḏim, and Anamim, and Lehaḇim, and Naphtuḥim,

14and Pathrusim, and Kasluḥim, from whom came the Philistines and Kaphtorim.

15And Kena‛an brought forth Tsiḏon his first-born, and Ḥĕth,

16and the Yeḇusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,

17and the Ḥiwwite, and the Arqite, and the Sinite,

18and the Arwaḏite, and the Tsemarite, and the Ḥamathite. And afterward the clans of the Kena‛anites were spread abroad.

19And the border of the Kena‛anites was from Tsiḏon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Azzah, as you go toward Seḏom, and Amorah, and Aḏmah, and Tseḇoyim, as far as Lasha.

20These were the sons of Ḥam, according to their clans, according to their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

21And also to Shĕm, the father of all the children of Ěḇer, the brother of Yapheth the elder, children were born.

22The sons of Shĕm: Ěylam, and Asshur, and Arpaḵshaḏ, and Luḏ, and Aram.

23And the sons of Aram: Uts, and Ḥul, and Gether, and Mash.

24And Arpaḵshaḏ brought forth Shelaḥ, and Shelaḥ brought forth Ěḇer.

25And to Ěḇer were born two sons, the name of one was Peleḡ, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother’s name was Yoqtan.

26And Yoqtan brought forth Almoḏaḏ, and Sheleph, and Ḥatsarmaweth, and Yeraḥ,

27and Haḏoram, and Uzal, and Diqlah,

28and Oḇal, and Aḇima’ĕl, and Sheḇa,

29and Ophir, and Ḥawilah, and Yoḇaḇ. All these were sons of Yoqtan.

30And their dwelling place was from Mĕysha as you go toward Sephar, a mountain of the east.

31These were the sons of Shĕm, according to their clans, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations.

32These were the clans of the sons of Noaḥ, according to their generations, in their nations. And from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
