sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
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 Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah,
and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; 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 Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same
is a great city.
13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14 And Pathrusim,
and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn,
and Heth,
16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and
the Sinite,
18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: 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 Zeboim, 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 Arphaxad, and Lud,
and Aram.
23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And Arphaxad begat
Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in
his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and
Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah,
27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28 And Obal, and Abimael,
and Sheba,
29 And Ophir, and Havilah, 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.
Gen.11
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed
from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one
to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime
had they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto
heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the
LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and
now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and
there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the LORD scattered
them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore
is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and
from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
10 These are the generations
of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
11 And Shem
lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
12 And Arphaxad lived
five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and
three years, and begat sons and daughters.
14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
15 And
Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
16 And
Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred
and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
19 And
Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
20 And Reu
lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and
seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
23 And
Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
24 And Nahor lived
nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen
years, and begat sons and daughters.
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and
