1These are the records of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, to whom descendants were born after the flood.

1וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ תּוֹלְדֹ֣ת בְּנֵי־ נֹ֔חַ שֵׁ֖ם חָ֣ם וָיָ֑פֶת וַיִּוָּלְד֥וּ לָהֶ֛ם בָּנִ֖ים אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃

2Japheth's descendants included Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

2בְּנֵ֣י יֶ֔פֶת גֹּ֣מֶר וּמָג֔וֹג וּמָדַ֖י וְיָוָ֣ן וְתֻבָ֑ל וּמֶ֖שֶׁךְ וְתִירָֽס׃

3Gomer's descendants included Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

3וּבְנֵ֖י גֹּ֑מֶר אַשְׁכֲּנַ֥ז וְרִיפַ֖ת וְתֹגַרְמָֽה׃

4Javan's descendants included Elisha, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim,

4וּבְנֵ֥י יָוָ֖ן אֱלִישָׁ֣ה וְתַרְשִׁ֑ישׁ כִּתִּ֖ים וְדֹדָנִֽים׃

5from whom the coastal peoples spread into their own lands and nations, each with their own language and family groups.

5מֵ֠אֵלֶּה נִפְרְד֞וּ אִיֵּ֤י הַגּוֹיִם֙ בְּאַרְצֹתָ֔ם אִ֖ישׁ לִלְשֹׁנ֑וֹ לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃

6Ham's descendants included Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan.

6וּבְנֵ֖י חָ֑ם כּ֥וּשׁ וּמִצְרַ֖יִם וּפ֥וּט וּכְנָֽעַן׃

7Cush's descendants included Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. Raamah's descendants included Sheba and Dedan.

7וּבְנֵ֣י כ֔וּשׁ סְבָא֙ וַֽחֲוִילָ֔ה וְסַבְתָּ֥ה וְרַעְמָ֖ה וְסַבְתְּכָ֑א וּבְנֵ֥י רַעְמָ֖ה שְׁבָ֥א וּדְדָֽן׃

8Cush fathered Nimrod, who became the first fearless leader throughout the land.

8וְכ֖וּשׁ יָלַ֣ד אֶת־ נִמְרֹ֑ד ה֣וּא הֵחֵ֔ל לִֽהְי֥וֹת גִּבֹּ֖ר בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

9He became a fearless hunter in defiance of the LORD. That is why it is said, "Like Nimrod, a fearless hunter in defiance of the LORD."

9הֽוּא־ הָיָ֥ה גִבֹּֽר־ צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה עַל־ כֵּן֙ יֵֽאָמַ֔ר כְּנִמְרֹ֛ד גִּבּ֥וֹר צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

10His kingdom began in the region of Shinar with the cities of Babylon, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh.

10וַתְּהִ֨י רֵאשִׁ֤ית מַמְלַכְתּוֹ֙ בָּבֶ֔ל וְאֶ֖רֶךְ וְאַכַּ֣ד וְכַלְנֵ֑ה בְּאֶ֖רֶץ שִׁנְעָֽר׃

11From there he went north to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,

11מִן־ הָאָ֥רֶץ הַהִ֖וא יָצָ֣א אַשּׁ֑וּר וַיִּ֙בֶן֙ אֶת־ נִ֣ינְוֵ֔ה וְאֶת־ רְחֹבֹ֥ת עִ֖יר וְאֶת־ כָּֽלַח׃

12along with Resen, which was located between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.

12וְֽאֶת־ רֶ֔סֶן בֵּ֥ין נִֽינְוֵ֖ה וּבֵ֣ין כָּ֑לַח הִ֖וא הָעִ֥יר הַגְּדֹלָֽה׃

13Egypt fathered the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,

13וּמִצְרַ֡יִם יָלַ֞ד אֶת־ לוּדִ֧ים וְאֶת־ עֲנָמִ֛ים וְאֶת־ לְהָבִ֖ים וְאֶת־ נַפְתֻּחִֽים׃

14the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (from which came the Philistines), and the Caphtorites.

14וְֽאֶת־ פַּתְרֻסִ֞ים וְאֶת־ כַּסְלֻחִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָצְא֥וּ מִשָּׁ֛ם פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים וְאֶת־ כַּפְתֹּרִֽים׃ ס

15Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, along with the Hittites,

15וּכְנַ֗עַן יָלַ֛ד אֶת־ צִידֹ֥ן בְּכֹר֖וֹ וְאֶת־ חֵֽת׃

16the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

17וְאֶת־ הַֽחִוִּ֥י וְאֶת־ הַֽעַרְקִ֖י וְאֶת־ הַסִּינִֽי׃

18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later, the Canaanite families were widely scattered.

18וְאֶת־ הָֽאַרְוָדִ֥י וְאֶת־ הַצְּמָרִ֖י וְאֶת־ הַֽחֲמָתִ֑י וְאַחַ֣ר נָפֹ֔צוּ מִשְׁפְּח֖וֹת הַֽכְּנַעֲנִֽי׃

19The Canaanite border extended south from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and east toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

19וַֽיְהִ֞י גְּב֤וּל הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙ מִצִּידֹ֔ן בֹּאֲכָ֥ה גְרָ֖רָה עַד־ עַזָּ֑ה בֹּאֲכָ֞ה סְדֹ֧מָה וַעֲמֹרָ֛ה וְאַדְמָ֥ה וּצְבֹיִ֖ם עַד־ לָֽשַׁע׃

20These are Ham's descendants, listed by their families, each with their own lands, language, and family groups.

20אֵ֣לֶּה בְנֵי־ חָ֔ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם לִלְשֹֽׁנֹתָ֑ם בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃ ס

21Shem, Japheth's older brother, also had descendants. Shem was the father of the descendants of Eber.

21וּלְשֵׁ֥ם יֻלַּ֖ד גַּם־ ה֑וּא אֲבִי֙ כָּל־ בְּנֵי־ עֵ֔בֶר אֲחִ֖י יֶ֥פֶת הַגָּדֽוֹל׃

22Shem's sons included Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

24Arpachshad fathered Cainan, Cainan fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber.

24וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁ֖ד יָלַ֣ד אֶת־ שָׁ֑לַח וְשֶׁ֖לַח יָלַ֥ד אֶת־ עֵֽבֶר׃

25To Eber were born two sons. One was named Peleg, because the earth was divided during his lifetime. His brother was named Joktan.

25וּלְעֵ֥בֶר יֻלַּ֖ד שְׁנֵ֣י בָנִ֑ים שֵׁ֣ם הָֽאֶחָ֞ד פֶּ֗לֶג כִּ֤י בְיָמָיו֙ נִפְלְגָ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ וְשֵׁ֥ם אָחִ֖יו יָקְטָֽן׃

26Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

26וְיָקְטָ֣ן יָלַ֔ד אֶת־ אַלְמוֹדָ֖ד וְאֶת־ שָׁ֑לֶף וְאֶת־ חֲצַרְמָ֖וֶת וְאֶת־ יָֽרַח׃

29וְאֶת־ אוֹפִ֥ר וְאֶת־ חֲוִילָ֖ה וְאֶת־ יוֹבָ֑ב כָּל־ אֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵ֥י יָקְטָֽן׃

30Their settlements extended from Mesha towards Sephar, the eastern hill country.

30וַֽיְהִ֥י מוֹשָׁבָ֖ם מִמֵּשָׁ֑א בֹּאֲכָ֥ה סְפָ֖רָה הַ֥ר הַקֶּֽדֶם׃

32These are the families of Noah's sons, according to their records, by their nations. From these people, the nations on the earth spread out after the flood.

32אֵ֣לֶּה מִשְׁפְּחֹ֧ת בְּנֵי־ נֹ֛חַ לְתוֹלְדֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶ֑ם וּמֵאֵ֜לֶּה נִפְרְד֧וּ הַגּוֹיִ֛ם בָּאָ֖רֶץ אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃ פ
