Genesis 10:21-32 - The 26 Descendants Of Shem

²¹ Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber [including the Hebrews], the older brother of Japheth, children were born. ²² The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram;

²³ the sons of Aram [ancestor of the Syrians]: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash.

²⁴ Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. ²⁵ Two sons were born to Eber; the name of one was Peleg (division), for [the inhabitants of] the earth were divided in his days; and his brother’s name was Joktan. ²⁶ Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, ²⁷ and Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, ²⁸ and Obal, Abimael, Sheba, ²⁹ and Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. ³⁰ Now their territory extended from Mesha as one goes toward Sephar, to the hill country of the east.

³¹ These are Shem’s descendants according to their constituent groups (families), according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.

³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their descendants, by their nations; and from these [people] the nations were separated and spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
