1 Now, these, are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth,––and there were born to them sons, after the flood.
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 Rodanim.
5 From these, were dispersed [the inhabitants of] the coastlands of the nations, in their lands, each man by his tongue,––by 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 Sabtechah,––And, the sons of Raamah, Sheba and Dedan. 8 And, Cush, begat Nimrod,––he, became a hero in the earth; 9 he, became a hero of hunting before Yahweh,––for this cause, it is said, Like Nimrod, a hero of hunting before Yahweh. 10 So the beginning of his kingdom came to be Babel, and Erech, and Accad and Calneh,––in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land, went forth Asshur,––and he built Nineveh, and Rehoboth–ir, and Calah; 12 and Resen, between Niveveh and Calah,––the same, is the great city. 13 And, Mizraim, begat Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim, and Naphtuchim; 14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim, whence came forth Philistim and Caphtorim.
15 And, Canaan, begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth; 16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite; 17 and the Hivite and the Arkite, and the Sinite; 18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite,––and, afterwards, were spread abroad the families of the Canaanite. 19 And it came to pass, that the boundary of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou enterest in towards Gerar, unto Gaza,––as thou enterest in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, as far as Lasha. 20 These, are the sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues,––in their lands, in their nations.
21 Now, to Shem, father of all the sons of Eber, elder brother of Japheth, to him also, were children born. 22 The sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur,––and Arpachshad, and Lud and Aram. 23 And, the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul, and Gether and Mash. 24 Now, Arpachshad, begat Shelah,––and, Shelah, begat Eber. 25 And, to Eber, were born two sons,––the name of the one, was Peleg, for, in his days, was the earth divided, and, the name of his brother, was Joktan. 26 Now, 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 sons of Joktan. 30 And it came to pass that their dwelling was from Mesha,––as thou enterest in towards Sephar, the mountain of the east. 31 These, are the sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues,––in their lands, by their nations. 32 These, are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations in their nations,––and, from these, were dispersed the nations in the earth, after the flood.
11 1 So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech,––and of one stock of words. 2 And it came to pass, as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there. 3 Then said they, each man to his friend, Come on! let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly,––So, the bricks, served them, for stone, and, bitumen, served them for mortar. 4 And they said, Come on! let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower with its head in the heavens, so let us make for ourselves a name,––lest we be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth.
5 And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower,––which the sons of men had built. 6 Then said Yahweh: Lo! one people, and, one manner of speech, have they all, this, then is what they have begun to do,––now, therefore, nothing will be withholden from them, which they may plan to do. 7 Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech,––that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend. 8 So Yahweh scattered them from thence, over the face of all the earth,––and so they left off building the city. 9 For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel[=" Confusion"]; because, there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth,––and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth.
10 These, are the genealogies of Shem, Shem, was a hundred years old when he begat Arpachshad, two years after the flood; 11 and Shem lived, after he begat Arpachshad, five hundred years,––and begat sons and daughters. 12 And, Arpachshad, lived thirty–five years,––and begat Shelah; 13 and Arpachshad lived, after he begat Shelah, four hundred and three years,––and begat sons and daughters. 14 And, Shelah, lived thirty years,––and begat Eber; 15 and Shelah lived, after he begat Eber, four hundred and three years,––and begat sons and daughters. 16 And Eber lived, thirty–four 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 thirty–two 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 twenty–nine years,––and begat Terah; 25 and Nahor lived, after he begat Terah, a hundred and nineteen years,––and begat sons and daughters. 26 And Terah lived seventy years,––and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
