Japheth
This is the record of the sons of Noah — Shem, Ham and Japheth — and the sons born to them after the flood. Japheth's sons: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras. Gomer's sons: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah. Javan's sons: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites and the Rodanites. From these the coastal peoples spread out into their own countries, each with its own language, by clan, within their nations.

Nimrod
Cush was also the father of Nimrod, who grew into a mighty man on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. That's where the saying comes from: “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord”. His kingdom started at Babel, Erech, Akkad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land he went into Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah. That's the great city.

Canaan
Egypt was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites, the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (the Philistines came from there) and the Caphtorites. Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites, the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, the Arvadites, the Zemarites and the Hamathites. Later on, the Canaanite clans spread out, and the border of Canaan ran from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, as far as Lasha. These are Ham's sons, by clan and language, in their countries and nations.

Shem
Sons were born to Shem as well, the older brother of Japheth. Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber. Shem's sons: Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram. Aram's sons: Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshek. Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber. Eber had two sons. One was called Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided. His brother was called Joktan. Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All of these were Joktan's sons. Their country ran from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country. These are Shem's sons, by clan and language, in their countries and nations. These are the clans of Noah's sons, by line, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.
