²¹And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth; Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber. ²²The sons of Shem: ²³The sons of Aram: 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 was named Joktan. ²⁶And Joktan 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 territory extended from Mesha to Sephar, in the eastern hill country. ³¹These are the sons of Shem, according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations. ³²All these are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their generations and nations. From these the nations of the earth spread out after the flood.
