NIV 2011
Generations of Noah's Sons: Shem, Ham, Japheth
10 This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.
The Japhethites
2 The sons of Japheth:
Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek and Tiras.
3 The sons of Gomer:
Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.
4 The sons of Javan:
Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites and the Rodanites. 5 (From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)
The Hamites
6 The sons of Ham:
Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan.
7 The sons of Cush:
Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteka.
The sons of Raamah:
Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh, in Shinar. 11 From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.
13 Egypt was the father of
the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14 Pathrusites, Kasluhites (from whom the Philistines came) and Caphtorites.
15 Canaan was the father of
Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites, 16 Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, 17 Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, 18 Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites.
Later the Canaanite clans scattered 19 and the borders of Canaan reached from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, as far as Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
The Semites
21 Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.
22 The sons of Shem:
Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram.
23 The sons of Aram:
Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshek.
24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah,
and Shelah the father of Eber.
25 Two sons were born to Eber:
One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.
26 Joktan was the father of
Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
30 The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.
31 These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
32 These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.

Generations of Noah's Sons: Shem, Ham, Japheth
10 These be the generations of the sons of Noe; Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the great flood.
The Japhethites
2 The sons of Japheth were
Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 Forsooth the sons of Gomer were
Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 Forsooth the sons of Javan were
Elishah, and Tarshish, (and) Kittim, and Dodanim; 5 of these sons the isles of the heathen men were parted in their countries, each by his language, and families, in his nations.
The Hamites
6 Soothly the sons of Ham were
Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 Forsooth the sons of Cush were
Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah.
The sons of Raamah were
Sheba, and Dedan.
8 Forsooth Cush begat Nimrod; (and) he began to be mighty in [the] earth, 9 and he was a strong hunter, or oppressor, of men before the Lord; of him a proverb went out, (saying,) As Nimrod, a strong hunter before the Lord. 10 Soothly the beginning of his realm was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Asshur went out of that land, and builded Nineveh, and [the] streets of the city, and Calah, 12 and Resen betwixt Nineveh and Calah; this is a great city.
13 And soothly Mizraim begat
Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim; of which the Philistines and Caphtorim came forth.
15 Forsooth Canaan engendered
Sidon, his first engendered son,
(and) Heth, 16 and Jebusites, and Amorites, Girgashites, 17 (and) Hivites, and Arkites, (and) Sinites, 18 and Arvadites, (and) Zemarites, and Hamathites; and [the] peoples of
(the) Canaanites were sown abroad by these men. 19 And the terms of Canaan were made to men coming from Sidon to Gerar, till to Gaza, (and then) till thou enter into Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboiim, till to Lasha.
20 These were the sons of Ham, in their kindreds, and languages, and generations, and lands, and folks (and nations).
The Semites
21 Also of Shem were born the fathers of all the sons of Eber, and Japheth was the more, or elder, brother (of Shem)
22 The sons of Shem were
Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 The sons of Aram were
Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And soothly Arphaxad begat Salah,
of whom Eber was born.
25 And 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.
26 And that Joktan begat
Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, (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 the habitation of them was made from Mesha, as men goeth till to Sephar, an hill of the east.
31 These be the sons of Shem, by kindreds, and languages, and countries, in their folks (and nations).
32 These be the families of Noe, by their peoples, and nations; [the] folks in [the] earth were parted of these after the great flood.
