1 Chronicles 1:5–23

5 The sons of Japheth—Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras—were the ancestors of the peoples who bear their names. 6The descendants of Gomer were the people of Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 7The descendants of Javan were the people of Elishah, Spain, Cyprus, and Rhodes.

8 The sons of Ham—Cush, Egypt, Libya, and Canaan—were the ancestors of the peoples who bear their names. 9The descendants of Cush were the people of Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah were the people of Sheba and Dedan. 10(Cush had a son named Nimrod, who became the world’s first great conqueror.) 11The descendants of Egypt were the people of Lydia, Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh, 12Pathrus, Casluh, and of Crete (from whom the Philistines were descended). 13Canaan’s sons—Sidon, the eldest, and Heth—were the ancestors of the peoples who bear their names. 14Canaan was also the ancestor of the Jebusites, the Amorites, Girgashites, 15Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, 16Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites.

17 Shem’s sons—Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, Aram, Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshek—were the ancestors of the peoples who bear their names. 18Arpachshad was the father of Shelah, who was the father of Eber. 19Eber had two sons; one was named Peleg,a because during his time the people of the world were divided, and the other was named Joktan. 20The descendants of Joktan were the people of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 21Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 22Ebal, Abimael, Sheba, 23Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab.
