7The sonsH1121 of CushH3568 were 1SebaH5434, HavilahH2341, SabtahH5454, 2RaamahH7484, and SabtecaH5455; and the sonsH1121 of RaamahH7484 were 3ShebaH7614 and 4DedanH1719. 8Now CushH3568 fatheredH3205 NimrodH5248; he 5becameH2490H1961 a mightyH1368 oneH1368 on the earthH776. 9He was a mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; thereforeH5921H3651 it is saidH559, “Like NimrodH5248 a mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LordH3068.” 10And the beginningH7225 of his kingdomH4467 was 67BabelH894, ErechH751, AccadH390, and CalnehH3641, in the landH776 of 8ShinarH8152. 11From that landH776 he wentH3318 9to AssyriaH804, and builtH1129 NinevehH5210, Rehoboth-IrH7344, CalahH3625, 12and ResenH7449 betweenH996 NinevehH5210 and CalahH3625; that is the greatH1419 cityH5892. 13MizraimH4714 fatheredH3205 10LudimH3866, AnamimH6047, LehabimH3853, NaphtuhimH5320, 1411PathrusimH6625, CasluhimH3695 (from whomH834 cameH3318 the PhilistinesH6430), and CaphtorimH3732.

21AlsoH1571 to ShemH8035, the fatherH1 of allH3605 the childrenH1121 of EberH5677, and the olderH1419 brotherH251 of JaphethH3315, children were bornH3205. 2220The sonsH1121 of ShemH8035 were 21ElamH5867, AsshurH804, 22ArpachshadH775, 23LudH3865, and AramH758. 23The sonsH1121 of AramH758 were 24UzH5780, HulH2343, GetherH1666, and MashH4851. 24ArpachshadH775 fatheredH3205 25ShelahH7974; and ShelahH7974 fatheredH3205 EberH5677. 2526TwoH8147 sonsH1121 were bornH3205 to EberH5677; the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was 27PelegH6389, for in his daysH3117 the earthH776 was dividedH6385; and his brother’sH251 nameH8034 was JoktanH3355. 26JoktanH3355 fatheredH3205 AlmodadH486, ShelephH8026, HazarmavethH2700, JerahH3392, 27HadoramH1913, UzalH187, DiklahH1853, 2828ObalH5745, AbimaelH39, ShebaH7614, 29OphirH211, HavilahH2341, and JobabH3103; allH3605 of theseH428 were the sonsH1121 of JoktanH3355.
