17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.

19 And the bound of the Canaanite shall be from Sidon in thy coming to Gerar, to Azzah; in thy coming to Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha.

20 These the sons of Ham according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

21 And to Shem shall be born, even to him the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the great

22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaeshad, and Lud, and Aram.

23 And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

25 And to Eber shall be born two sons: the name of the latter, Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and the name of his brother, Joktan.
