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.
