8 Ham’s sons were Kush, Mitsrayim, Put, and Kena’an (Canaan). 9 Kush’s sons were Seva, Havilah, Savta, Raemah, and Savteka. Raemah’s sons were Sheva and Dedan. 10 Then Kush fathered Nimrod and he became a mighty warrior. 11 Mitsrayim was the ancestor of the Lud, the Anamim, the Lehavim, the Naftuhim, 12 the Patrusim, the Kasluhim, and the Kaftor people groups. (The Pelishtim descended from the Kasluhim people group.) 13 Kena’an’s first son was Tsidon (Sidon), and then he was also the ancestor of the Hitim, 14 the Yevusim, the Amorim, the Girgashim, 15 the Hivim, the Arkim, the Sinim, 16 the Arvadim, the Tsemarim, and the Hamatim.

17 Shem’s sons were Eylam, Ashur, Arpakshad, Lud, and Aram. Aram’s sons were: Uts (Uz), Hul, Geter, and Meshek. 18 Arpakshad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Ever. 19 Ever had two sons: Peleg (which sounds like the Hebrew word for ‘divided’, because in his lifetime, the earth was divided)[ref] and Yaketan. 20 Yaketan was the ancestor of: Almodad, Shelef, Hatsarmavet, Yerah, 21 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 22 Eyval, Avimael, Sheva, 23 Ofir, Havilah, and Yovav.
