1 Now these are the records of the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and sons were born to them after the flood.

3 The sons of Gomer were 6Ashkenaz and Riphath and 7Togarmah.
4 The sons of Javan were Elishah and 8Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim.
5 From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
6 9The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.
7 The sons of Cush were 10Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and 11Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were 12Sheba and 13Dedan.
