Genesis 10:21-31

21Shem, Japheth’s older brother, also had children. ⌞Shem was⌟ the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.

22Shem’s descendants were Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

23Aram’s descendants were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24Arpachshad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.

25Two sons were born to Eber. The name of the one was Peleg [Division], because in his day the earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan.

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

27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. These were Joktan’s sons.
