New Testament
Genesis 10:21-31
The Descendants of Shem
21Sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth,[] the father of all the descendants of Eber.
22The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
24Arphaxad became the father of Shelah.[] Shelah became the father of Eber. 25To Eber two sons were born. The name of one was Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided.[]
Eber's brother's name was Joktan. 26Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 30Their dwelling was from Mesha all the way to Sephar, in the hill country of the east.
31These were the descendants of Shem according to their ethnic groups, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
