Also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber [including the Hebrews], the older brother of Japheth, children were born. The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram; the sons of Aram [ancestor of the Syrians]: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash. Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber. 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. Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, and Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, and Obal, Abimael, Sheba, and Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. Now their territory extended from Mesha as one goes toward Sephar, to the hill country of the east. These are Shem’s descendants according to their constituent groups (families), according to their languages, by their lands, according to their nations.
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. [Acts 17:26]
