World Messianic Bible (English numbering)

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.

²The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

³The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

⁵Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

⁶The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

⁷The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan.

⁸Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one on the earth.

⁹He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD”.

¹⁰The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

¹²and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah.

¹³Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

¹⁴Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

¹⁵Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

¹⁶the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

¹⁷the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

¹⁸the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites 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.

²⁰These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.

²¹Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber.

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

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

²⁴Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

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.

²⁶Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

²⁷Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

²⁸Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

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

³⁰Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

³¹These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations.

³²These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these on the earth after the flood.
