1 Now 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.

2 The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

6 The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan. 8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh". 10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah. 13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth, 16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. 19 The 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. 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.

21 Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber. 22 The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber. 25 To 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. 26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 30 Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations.

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

1 En dit is die stamboom van die seuns van Noag: Sem, Gam en Jafet -- vir hulle is daar seuns gebore n die vloed.

2 Die seuns van Jafet was: Gomer en Magog en Madai en Jawan en Tubal en Meseg en Tiras.

3 En die seuns van Gomer was: Askenas en Rifat en Tog rma.

4 En die seuns van Jawan was: El¡sa en Tarsis, die Kittiërs en Dodaniete --

5 uit hulle het verdeeld geraak die kuslande van die nasies, in hulle lande, elkeen na sy taal, volgens hulle geslagte, in hulle nasies.

6 En die seuns van Gam was: Kus en Misraim en Put en Kana„n.

7 En die seuns van Kus was: Seba en H wila en Sabta en Ra,ma en S btega. En die seuns van Ra,ma: Skeba en Dedan.

8 Kus was ook die vader van Nimrod. Hy het begin om 'n geweldenaar op aarde te wees.

9 Hy was 'n geweldige jagter voor die aangesig van die HERE. Daarom sê hulle: Soos Nimrod, 'n geweldige jagter voor die aangesig van die HERE.

10 En die begin van sy ryk was Babel en Ereg en Akkad en Kalne in die land S¡near.

11 Uit hierdie land het hy getrek na Assur en gebou: Ninev, en R,hobot-Ir en Kalag

12 en Resen, tussen Ninev, en Kalag -- dit is die groot stad.

13 En Misraim was die vader van die Ludiete en Anamiete en Lehabiete en Naftuhiete

14 en die Patrusiete en Kasluhiete -- waaruit die Filistyne voortgekom het -- en Kaftoriete.

15 En Kana„n was die vader van Sidon, sy eersgeborene, en Het

16 en die Jebusiete en Amoriete en Girgasiete

17 en die Hewiete en Arkiete en Siniete

18 en die Arwadiete en Semariete en Hamatiete. En daarna het die geslagte van die Kana„niete hulle versprei.

19 En die gebied van die Kana„niete was van Sidon af in die rigting van Gerar tot by Gasa, in die rigting van Sodom en Gomorra en Adma en Seboim tot by Lesa.

20 Dit was die seuns van Gam volgens hulle geslagte, na hulle tale, in hulle lande, in hulle nasies.

21 En ook vir Sem, die stamvader van al die seuns van Heber, die ouer broer van Jafet, is seuns gebore.

22 Die seuns van Sem was: Elam en Assur en Arpagsad en Lud en Aram.

23 En die seuns van Aram was: Us en Hul en Geter en Mas.

24 En Arpagsad was die vader van Selag, en Selag van Heber.

25 En vir Heber is twee seuns gebore; die naam van die een was Peleg, want in sy dae het die aardbewoners verdeeld geraak; en die naam van sy broer was Joktan.

26 En Joktan was die vader van Almodad en Selef en Hasarm wet en Jerag

27 en Hadoram en Usal en Dikla

28 en Obal en Ab¡mael en Skeba

29 en Ofir en H wila en Jobab. Hulle almal was seuns van Joktan.

30 En hulle woonplek was van Mesa af in die rigting van Sefar, die berg van die Ooste.

31 Dit is die seuns van Sem volgens hulle geslagte, na hulle tale, in hulle lande, volgens hulle nasies.

32 Dit is die geslagte van die seuns van Noag volgens hulle afstamming, in hulle nasies; en uit hulle het die nasies op die aarde hulle verdeel n die vloed.
