3Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah.
4The sons of Noah:
5The sons of Japheth:
8The sons of Ham:
11Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites, 12the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites.
13And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites, 14the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 15the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 16the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites.
17The sons of Shem:
19Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan.
20And Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 21Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 22Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 23Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
24So from Shem came Arphaxad, Shelah, 25Eber, Peleg, Reu, 26Serug, Nahor, Terah, 27and Abram (that is, Abraham).

28The sons of Abraham were Isaac and Ishmael. 29These are their genealogies:
30Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Tema, 31Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These were the sons of Ishmael.
The sons of Jokshan:
33The sons of Midian:
All of these were Keturahʼs sons.
The Descendants of Esau
35The sons of Esau:
The Descendants of Seir
38The sons of Seir:
41The son of Anah: Dishon.
The Kings of Edom
43These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites:
46When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith.
49When Shaul died, Baal-hanan son of Achbor reigned in his place.
50When Baal-hanan died, Hadad reigned in his place. His city was named Pau, and his wifeʼs name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.
51Then Hadad died.
Now the chiefs of Edom were Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 52Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 53Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 54Magdiel, and Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.
