22The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

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

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

25Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg because in his days the earth was divided, and 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. All these were sons of Joktan.

30Their dwelling place was from Mesha all the way to Sephar in the eastern hills.

31These are the sons of Shem according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and according to their nations.

32These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations, and from these the nations spread over the earth after the flood.
