The
Table of Nations
1 Now these are the generations of the sons of
Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born
after the flood.
The Japhethites
2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and
Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and
Togarmah.
4 And the 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.
The Hamites
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 Sabtechah: 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 first born, 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.
The Semites
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
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 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.
