Genesis 10:21-32

21To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.

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

23The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24Arpachshad fathered Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber.

25To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan.

26Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

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

30The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east.

31These are the sons of Shem, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

32These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations, and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
