1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: these are the sons which they had after the great flow of waters | 1 וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ תֹּולְדֹ֣ת בְּנֵי־נֹ֔חַ שֵׁ֖ם חָ֣ם וָיָ֑פֶת וַיִּוָּלְד֥וּ לָהֶ֛ם בָּנִ֖ים אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃ | |||
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras. | 2 בְּנֵ֣י יֶ֔פֶת גֹּ֣מֶר וּמָגֹ֔וג וּמָדַ֖י וְיָוָ֣ן וְתֻבָ֑ל וּמֶ֖שֶׁךְ וְתִירָֽס׃ | |||
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah. | 3 וּבְנֵ֖י גֹּ֑מֶר אַשְׁכֲּנַ֥ז וְרִיפַ֖ת וְתֹגַרְמָֽה׃ | |||
4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and the Dodanim. | 4 וּבְנֵ֥י יָוָ֖ן אֱלִישָׁ֣ה וְתַרְשִׁ֑ישׁ כִּתִּ֖ים וְדֹדָנִֽים׃ | |||
5 From these came the nations of the sea-lands, with their different families and languages. | 5 מֵ֠אֵלֶּה נִפְרְד֞וּ אִיֵּ֤י הַגֹּויִם֙ בְּאַרְצֹתָ֔ם אִ֖ישׁ לִלְשֹׁנֹ֑ו לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם בְּגֹויֵהֶֽם׃ | |||
6 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan. | 6 וּבְנֵ֖י חָ֑ם כּ֥וּשׁ וּמִצְרַ֖יִם וּפ֥וּט וּכְנָֽעַן׃ | |||
7 And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. | 7 וּבְנֵ֣י כ֔וּשׁ סְבָא֙ וַֽחֲוִילָ֔ה וְסַבְתָּ֥ה וְרַעְמָ֖ה וְסַבְתְּכָ֑א וּבְנֵ֥י רַעְמָ֖ה שְׁבָ֥א וּדְדָֽן׃ | |||
8 And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth. | 8 וְכ֖וּשׁ יָלַ֣ד אֶת־נִמְרֹ֑ד ה֣וּא הֵחֵ֔ל לִֽהְיֹ֥ות גִּבֹּ֖ר בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | |||
9 He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman. | 9 הֽוּא־הָיָ֥ה גִבֹּֽר־צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה עַל־כֵּן֙ יֵֽאָמַ֔ר כְּנִמְרֹ֛ד גִּבֹּ֥ור צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ | |||
10 And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. | 10 וַתְּהִ֨י רֵאשִׁ֤ית מַמְלַכְתֹּו֙ בָּבֶ֔ל וְאֶ֖רֶךְ וְאַכַּ֣ד וְכַלְנֵ֑ה בְּאֶ֖רֶץ שִׁנְעָֽר׃ | |||
11 From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah, | 11 מִן־הָאָ֥רֶץ הַהִ֖וא יָצָ֣א אַשּׁ֑וּר וַיִּ֙בֶן֙ אֶת־נִ֣ינְוֵ֔ה וְאֶת־רְחֹבֹ֥ת עִ֖יר וְאֶת־כָּֽלַח׃ | |||
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town. | 12 וְֽאֶת־רֶ֔סֶן בֵּ֥ין נִֽינְוֵ֖ה וּבֵ֣ין כָּ֑לַח הִ֖וא הָעִ֥יר הַגְּדֹלָֽה׃ | |||
13 And Mizraim was the father of the Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim; | 13 וּמִצְרַ֡יִם יָלַ֞ד אֶת־לוּדִ֧ים וְאֶת־עֲנָמִ֛ים וְאֶת־לְהָבִ֖ים וְאֶת־נַפְתֻּחִֽים׃ | |||
14 And Pathrusim and Casluhim and Caphtorim, from whom came the Philistines. | 14 וְֽאֶת־פַּתְרֻסִ֞ים וְאֶת־כַּסְלֻחִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָצְא֥וּ מִשָּׁ֛ם פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים וְאֶת־כַּפְתֹּרִֽים׃ | |||
15 And Canaan was the father of Zidon, who was his oldest son, and Heth, | 15 וּכְנַ֗עַן יָלַ֛ד אֶת־צִידֹ֥ן בְּכֹרֹ֖ו וְאֶת־חֵֽת׃ | |||
16 And the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite, | 16 וְאֶת־הַיְבוּסִי֙ וְאֶת־הָ֣אֱמֹרִ֔י וְאֵ֖ת הַגִּרְגָּשִֽׁי׃ | |||
17 And the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite, | 17 וְאֶת־הַֽחִוִּ֥י וְאֶת־הַֽעַרְקִ֖י וְאֶת־הַסִּינִֽי׃ | |||
18 And the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions; | 18 וְאֶת־הָֽאַרְוָדִ֥י וְאֶת־הַצְּמָרִ֖י וְאֶת־הַֽחֲמָתִ֑י וְאַחַ֣ר נָפֹ֔צוּ מִשְׁפְּחֹ֖ות הַֽכְּנַעֲנִֽי׃ | |||
19 Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim. | 19 וַֽיְהִ֞י גְּב֤וּל הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙ מִצִּידֹ֔ן בֹּאֲכָ֥ה גְרָ֖רָה עַד־עַזָּ֑ה בֹּאֲכָ֞ה סְדֹ֧מָה וַעֲמֹרָ֛ה וְאַדְמָ֥ה וּצְבֹיִ֖ם עַד־לָֽשַׁע׃ | |||
20 All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham. | 20 אֵ֣לֶּה בְנֵי־חָ֔ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם לִלְשֹֽׁנֹתָ֑ם בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם בְּגֹויֵהֶֽם׃ | |||
21 And Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father of the children of Eber, had other sons in addition. | 21 וּלְשֵׁ֥ם יֻלַּ֖ד גַּם־ה֑וּא אֲבִי֙ כָּל־בְּנֵי־עֵ֔בֶר אֲחִ֖י יֶ֥פֶת הַגָּדֹֽול׃ | |||
22 These are the sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram. | 22 בְּנֵ֥י שֵׁ֖ם עֵילָ֣ם וְאַשּׁ֑וּר וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁ֖ד וְל֥וּד וַֽאֲרָֽם׃ | |||
23 And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash. | 23 וּבְנֵ֖י אֲרָ֑ם ע֥וּץ וְח֖וּל וְגֶ֥תֶר וָמַֽשׁ׃ | |||
24 And Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. | 24 וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁ֖ד יָלַ֣ד אֶת־שָׁ֑לַח וְשֶׁ֖לַח יָלַ֥ד אֶת־עֵֽבֶר׃ | |||
25 And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan. | 25 וּלְעֵ֥בֶר יֻלַּ֖ד שְׁנֵ֣י בָנִ֑ים שֵׁ֣ם הָֽאֶחָ֞ד פֶּ֗לֶג כִּ֤י בְיָמָיו֙ נִפְלְגָ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ וְשֵׁ֥ם אָחִ֖יו יָקְטָֽן׃ | |||
26 And Joktan was the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah | 26 וְיָקְטָ֣ן יָלַ֔ד אֶת־אַלְמֹודָ֖ד וְאֶת־שָׁ֑לֶף וְאֶת־חֲצַרְמָ֖וֶת וְאֶת־יָֽרַח׃ | |||
27 And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah | 27 וְאֶת־הֲדֹורָ֥ם וְאֶת־אוּזָ֖ל וְאֶת־דִּקְלָֽה׃ | |||
28 And Obal and Abimael and Sheba | 28 וְאֶת־עֹובָ֥ל וְאֶת־אֲבִֽימָאֵ֖ל וְאֶת־שְׁבָֽא׃ | |||
29 And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. | 29 וְאֶת־אֹופִ֥ר וְאֶת־חֲוִילָ֖ה וְאֶת־יֹובָ֑ב כָּל־אֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵ֥י יָקְטָֽן׃ | |||
30 And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, the mountain of the east. | 30 וַֽיְהִ֥י מֹושָׁבָ֖ם מִמֵּשָׁ֑א בֹּאֲכָ֥ה סְפָ֖רָה הַ֥ר הַקֶּֽדֶם׃ | |||
31 These, with their families and their languages and their lands and their nations, are the offspring of Shem. | 31 אֵ֣לֶּה בְנֵי־שֵׁ֔ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם לִלְשֹׁנֹתָ֑ם בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם לְגֹויֵהֶֽם׃ | |||
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth after the great flow of waters. | 32 אֵ֣לֶּה מִשְׁפְּחֹ֧ת בְּנֵי־נֹ֛חַ לְתֹולְדֹתָ֖ם בְּגֹויֵהֶ֑ם וּמֵאֵ֜לֶּה נִפְרְד֧וּ הַגֹּויִ֛ם בָּאָ֖רֶץ אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃ | |||
