1
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3
And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.
4
And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim.
5
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided into their lands, every one after his own tongue, according to their families, into their nations.
6
And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim, and Put and Canaan.
7
And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.
8
And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
9
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD."
