אֵ֣לֶּה
these
The word Those refers here to the people listed in verses 21-30. See how you translated verse 20, which is almost exactly the same as verse 31. Alternate translation: “Those are the names of” or “Those men are”
בְנֵי־שֵׁ֔ם
sons_of name_of
Alternate translation: “the descendants of Shem”
לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם
to=their=clans
See how you translated clans in verses 5 and 20. Alternate translation: “and each one had his own clan”
לִלְשֹׁנֹתָ֑ם בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם לְגוֹיֵהֶֽם
according_to,languages_of,their in=their=lands according_to,nations_of,their
Alternate translation: “Each family spoke its own language and lived in its own territory, and eventually became its own people group.” or “Each family multiplied and established its own ethnic group that had its own language and lived in its own territory.”
10:2-32 This section describes the ancestral origin of the nations of the ancient Near East. Ham was at the center (10:6-20), while the descendants of Japheth and Shem spread out to the surrounding regions of Greece, Crete, Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, Madai, the Arabian peninsula, and northeast Africa. The list selectively highlights nations relevant to Israel. The total of seventy (seven times ten) names indicates completeness (see 46:27; Deut 32:8) and symbolizes the totality of the world, which would later be blessed by the descendants of Abraham (Gen 18:18).
• Although Shem is mentioned first in 10:1, he is addressed last in the Table because of his connection to Abram (10:21-31; 11:10-32; 12:1). Although God established the boundaries of all nations (see Deut 32:8; Amos 9:7; Acts 17:26), Israel was his special creation—a microcosm of seventy people (Gen 46:27) called to be a blessing to a world of seventy nations (see 12:3).
OET (OET-LV) These [were]_the_sons_of Shēm to_their_clans according_to_languages_of_their in_their_lands according_to_nations_of_their.
OET (OET-RV) Those are Shem’s descendants according to their clans, languages, regions, and nations.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
