Genesis 10:21-32

21Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, and the 1older brother of Japheth, children were born. 222The sons of Shem were 3Elam and Asshur and 4Arpachshad and 5Lud and Aram. 23The sons of Aram were 6Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. 24Arpachshad 7became the father of 8Shelah; and Shelah 9became the father of Eber. 2510Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was 11Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26Joktan 12became the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah 27and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah 28and 13Obal and Abimael and Sheba 29and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 30Now their 14settlement 15extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east. 31These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.

32These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations; and 16out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
