27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28 and Obal, and Abimael, (and) Sheba,
29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
30 And the habitation of them was made from Mesha, as men goeth till to Sephar, an hill of the east. (And they lived in the hill country of the east, from Mesha unto Sephar.)
31 These be the sons of Shem, by kindreds, and languages, and countries, in their folks (and nations).
32 These be the families of Noe, by their peoples, and nations; [the] folks in [the] earth were parted of these after the great flood. (These be the families of Noah, by their peoples, and their nations; all the nations on the earth came from these three men/came from these people after the great flood.)
