Genesis 10:21-32

21Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber [including the Hebrews], the older brother of Japheth, children were born.

22The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram;

23the sons of Aram [ancestor of the Syrians]: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash.

24Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.

25Two sons were born to Eber; the name of one was Peleg (division), for [the inhabitants of] the earth were divided in his days; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

26Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27and Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28and Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29and Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

30Now their territory extended from Mesha as one goes toward Sephar, to the hill country of the east.

31These are Shem’s descendants according to their constituent groups (families), according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.

32These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their descendants, by their nations; and from these [people] the nations were separated and spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
