Now, to Shem, father of all the sons of Eber, elder brother of Japheth, to him also, were children born.

The sons of Shem, Elam and Asshur, - and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

And, the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul, and Gether and Mash.

Now Arpachshad, begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber.

And to Eber, were born two sons, - the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days, was the earth divided, and the name of his brother was Joktan.

Now, Joktan, begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;

and Hadoram and Uzai, and Diklah:

and Obal and Abimael, and Sheba:

and Ophir and Havilah, and Jobab - all these were sons of Joktan.

And it came to pass that their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou enterest in towards Sephar, the mountain of the east.

These are the sons of Shem, by their families by their tongues, in their lands by their nations.

These, are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations in their nations, and from these, were dispersed the nations in the earth after the flood.
