1Efter oversvømmelsen fik Noas tre sønner, Sem, Kam og Jafet, selv sønner. Det følgende er en liste over disse sønner og deres efterkommere.2Jafets sønner hed Gomer, Magog, Madaj, Javan, Tubal, Meshek og Tiras.3Gomers sønner hed Ashkenaz, Rifat og Togarma.4Javans sønner hed Elisha, Tarshish, Kittim og Rodanim.5Fra Jafets efterkommere nedstammer de folkeslag, som bosatte sig i kystlandet og på øerne, hver med deres eget område og sprog.6Kams sønner hed Kush, Mitzrajim, Put og Kana’an,*7Kush fik sønnerne Seba, Havila, Sabta, Rama og Sabteka. Ramas sønner hed Saba og Dedan.8Kush havde også en efterkommer ved navn Nimrod. Han var en heltemodig kriger9og en enestående jæger. Det er fra ham, man har udtrykket: „En mægtig jæger som Nimrod.”10Nimrods rige bestod først af byerne Babel,* Erek, Akkad og Kalne i landet Shinar.11Senere erobrede han Assyrien, hvor han byggede byerne Nineve, Rehobot-Ir, Kala12og Resen, som blev rigets hovedstad og ligger mellem Nineve og Kala.13Mitzrajim blev stamfar til luditterne, anamitterne, lehabitterne, naftuhitterne,14patrusitterne, kasluhitterne (som filistrene stammer fra) og kaftoritterne.15Kana’ans ældste søn hed Sidon og blev stamfar til sidonitterne. Han blev også stamfar til hittitterne,16jebusitterne, amoritterne, girgashitterne,17hivvitterne, arkitterne, sinitterne,18arvaditterne, zemaritterne og hamatitterne.19Kana’anæernes slægter bredte sig efterhånden, så deres grænser nåede fra Sidon i nord til Gerar og Gaza i syd—og østpå til Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma og Sebojim ved Lasha.20Alle disse folk er Kams efterkommere, opregnet efter deres slægter, sprog og territorier.21Sem, der var storebror til Jafet,* fik også en række sønner, og han blev gennem Eber stamfar til hebræerne.22Sems sønner var Elam, Ashur, Arpakshad, Lud og Aram.23Arams sønner hed Utz, Hul, Geter og Mash.24Arpakshad blev far til Shela, som blev far til Eber.25Eber fik to sønner. Den første søn hed Peleg,* for det var på hans tid, at jordens befolkning adskiltes i forskellige sproggrupper og spredtes ud over jorden. Den anden søn hed Joktan,26og han blev far* til Almodad, Shelef, Hazarmavet, Jera,27Hadoram, Uzal, Dikla,28Obal, Abimael, Saba,29Ofir, Havila og Jobab.30Joktans efterkommeres område strækker sig fra Mesha til Sefar i bjergene mod øst.31Disse folk er Sems efterkommere, opregnet efter deres slægter, sprog og territorier.32Alle disse etniske grupper nedstammer altså fra Noas sønner. Efter oversvømmelsen blev jorden befolket med disse folkeslag.
King James Version
1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.2The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.3And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.4And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.5By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.6And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.7And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.8And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.11Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,12And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.13And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,14And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.15And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,16And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,17And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,18And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.21Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.22The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.23And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.24And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.25And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother' name was Joktan.26And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,27And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,28And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,29And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.31These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.32These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
