Genesis 10:25-32

25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan.

26 Joktan became the father of Almo'dad, Sheleph, Hazarma'veth, Jerah,

27 Hador'am, Uzal, Diklah,

28 Obal, Abim'a-el, Sheba,

29 Ophir, Hav'ilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

30 The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations; and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
