10 These are the generations of Noah’s sons, Yafet (Japheth), Shem, and Ham, and their descendants born to them after the flood:
Yafet’s (Japheth’s) descendants
2 Yafet’s (Japheth’s) sons were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Yavan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 Gomer’s sons were Ashkenaz, Rifath, and Togarmah. 4 Yavan’s sons were Elishah and Tarshish, and Kittim[fn] and Dodanim. 5 From all those descendants, people spread out into areas near the coast, each group with their own language, and with all the clans making up their nations.
Ham’s descendants
6 Ham’s sons were Cush, Egypt (Hebrew: Mitsrayim), Put, and Canaan. 7 Cush’s sons were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtekah. Then Raamah’s sons were Sheba and Dedan. 8 Cush was also the father of Nimrod who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 Nimrod also became a terrific hunter noticed by Yahweh, so people said, “Like Nimrod, a terrific hunter noticed by Yahweh.” 10 His kingdom began in the cities of Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, all in the Shinar region. 11 From that area he extended to Asshur[fn] where he built the cities of Nineveh, Rehobot-Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen, between Nineveh and the large city of Calah.
13 Mitsrayim fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naftuhim, 14 Pathrusim, and Casluhim (who the Philistines came from), and Caftorim.
15 Canaan fathered Tsidon his firstborn, then Het,[fn] 16 Yebusi, Emori, Girgashi. 17 Hivi, Arqi, Sini, 18 Arvadi, Tsemari, and Hamati. Later on, the Canaan clans spread in all directions 19 and their border went from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20 Those are Ham’s descendants according to their clans, languages, regions, and nations.
Shem’s descendants
21 Shem (the younger brother of Yafet) also had some sons and became the ancestor of all the descendants of Eber. 22 Shem’s sons were Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23 Aram’s sons were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24 Arpachshad fathered Shelah, then Shelah fathered Eber. 25 Eber’s two sons were Peleg and Yoktan. (Peleg’s name means ‘division’, because it was during his lifetime that the earth was divided.[fn]) 26 Yoktan fathered Almodad, Shelef, Hazarmaveth, Yerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ofir, Havilah, and Yobab. (All of those were the sons of Yoktan.) 30 They lived in the area from Mesha then to Sefar in the eastern hills. 31 Those are Shem’s descendants according to their clans, languages, regions, and nations.
32 All of those are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their generations and nations, and from them the nations spread out across the earth after the flood.
10:1 These names ending with ‘-im’ (the Hebrew plural) are possibly the names of the ensuing tribes (e.g., ‘Kittites’) and not the individuals. (Similarly for v13-14.)
10:11 Known to us as ‘Assyria’.
10:15 The ancestor of the Hittites.
10:25 Often believed to refer to the division of languages after the building of the tower described in chapter 11.
5 Yafet’s sons were Gomer, Magog, Maday, Yavan, Tuval, Meshek, and Tiras. 6 Gomer’s sons were Ashkenaz, Rifat, and Togarmah. 7 Javan’s sons were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.
8 Ham’s sons were Kush, Mitsrayim, Put, and Kanaan. 9 Kush’s sons were Seba, Havilah, Sabta, Raamah, and Savteka. Raamah’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 Anam, the Lehab, the Naftuh, 12 the Patrus, the Kasluh, and the Kaftor people groups. (The Philistines descended from the Kasluh people group.) 13 Kanaan’s first son was Tsidon, and then he was also the ancestor of the Hittites, 14 the Yebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 15 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 16 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamatites.
17 Shem’s sons were Elam, Ashur, Arpakshad, Lud, and Aram. Aram’s sons were: Uts, Hul, Geter, and Meshek. 18 Arpakshad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber. 19 Eber had two sons: Peleg (which sounds like the Hebrew word for ‘divided’ because in his lifetime, the earth was divided)[ref] and Yoktan. 20 Yoktan was the ancestor of: Almodad, Shelef, Hatsarmavet, Yerah, 21 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 22 Eybal, Abimael, Sheva, 23 Ofir, Havilah, and Yovav. All those were the descendants of Yoktan.
Gen 11:1-9:
11:1 The tower at Babel
11 Now the whole world had a single language and the same words, 2 and as they migrated from the east, they discovered a plain in the Shinar region and settled there. 3 Then they said to each other, “Come on, let’s make bricks and cure them with fire.” So they had bricks instead of stones, and they had tar for mortar.
4 Then they said, “Come on, let’s build a city for ourselves and a tower with its top in the sky, and let’s make a reputation for ourselves, so that we don’t get scattered all over the whole earth.” 5 Then Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that the humans were building 6 and he said, “Look, they’re just one people group, and they all speak the same language. This is only the beginning of what they can do together—soon they’ll be capable of doing anything they plan to do. 7 Come on then, let’s go down and confuse their language so that they won’t be able to understand each other’s words.” 8 So then they stopped building the city and Yahweh caused them to scatter over the whole world. 9 That’s why they named the city ‘Babel’ (meaning ‘mixed-up’) because it was there that Yahweh mixed up everyone’s language and then scattered them over the whole world.
