Genesis 10:19-29

19 The borders of Canaan went from Sidon toward Gerar all the way to Gaza. Then they went toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim all the way to Lasha.
20 Those are the sons of Ham. They are listed by their tribes and languages in their territories and nations.

The Sons of Shem

21 Sons were also born to Shem. Shem was Japheth's younger brother. All of the sons of Eber came from Shem.
22 The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram.
23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshech.
24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah. Shelah was the father of Eber.
25 Eber was the father of two sons. One was named Peleg. That's because the earth was divided up in his time. His brother was named Joktan.
26 Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth and Jerah.
27 He was also the father of Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
29 Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All of them were sons of Joktan.
