The Descendants of Shem

Genesis 10:21-31

Of Sem also the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

The sons of Aram: Us, and Hull, and Gether; and Mes.

But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.

And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days was the earth divided: and his brother's name Jectan.

Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,

And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla,

And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,

And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan.

And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.

These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.
