Genesis 10:20-32 The Message (MSG)

20. These are the descendants of Ham by family, language, country, and nation.

21. Shem, the older brother of Japheth, also had sons. Shem was ancestor to all the children of Eber.

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

23. The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, Meshech.

24-25. Arphaxad had Shelah and Shelah had Eber. Eber had two sons, Peleg (so named because in his days the human race divided) and Joktan.

26-30. Joktan had Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab—all sons of Joktan. Their land goes from Mesha toward Sephar as far as the mountain ranges in the east.

31. These are the descendants of Shem by family, language, country, and nation.

32. This is the family tree of the sons of Noah as they developed into nations. From them nations developed all across the Earth after the flood.
