The Genealogy of Noah

1 Noah’s sons were Shem, Ham, and Japheth.  These are the genealogies of their sons who were born after the Flood.

2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 Their families were so divided in the islands of the Gentiles that they were divided into different languages, tribes, and nations.

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Misraim, Put, and Canaan.

7 The sons of Cush were Sheba, Havilah, Sabtah, Ramah, and Sabtah. The sons of Ramah were Sheba and Dedan.

8 Ethiopia became the father of Nimrod.  He was the first warrior on earth.

9 He was a strong hunter before the Lord.  That is why it is said that Nimrod was a mighty hunter before Jehovah.

10 His reign began in the land of Shinar from Babylon, Arak, Akkad, and Kalneh.

11 And he departed thence, and went into Assyria, and came unto Nineveh, and to Rehoboth-er, and to Calah,

12 And he built Rasan, which is the great city between Nineveh and Calah.

13 Misraim Ludi, Anami, Lahabi, Naphtuhi

14 And became the father of Peter, and of Cuslui, and of Capernaum.  (The Philistines came out of Kushluhi)

15 Of the tribe of Canaan, Sidon was his firstborn.

16 Jebusite, Amorite, Girgashi,

17 Hivi, Archie, Sini,

18 The Arvadites, the Samaritans, and the Hamathites, and then the Canaanite families, spread out.

19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon to Gerar, to Azaz, and from Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim to Lasha.

20 This is what happened in the house of Ham, and they were separated according to different tribes, languages, countries and nations.

21 Shem, the ancestor of all the descendants of Eber, and Japheth’s older brother, also bore him sons.

22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Assyria, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gathar, and Meshech.

24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

25 Eber had two sons, one named Peleg, because in his days the land was divided, and his brother’s name was Jaktan.

26 From Jaktan to Almodad, Shelf, Hasermawath, Jarah

27 Hadoram, Ozal, Diklah,

28 Obal, Abimelech, Sheba,

29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab.  All these were the sons of Joktan.

30 They live from Mesha to Safar, a mountain in the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem;

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah: these are their genealogies according to their nations.  After the Flood, all the nations on earth spread out from them.

1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel your grandmother, and from there marry one of the daughters of Laban your uncle.

3 May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and make you grow and you will be a nation of many nations.

4 And he shall bless thee, and thy seed with Abraham, that thou mayest inherit the land which thou gavest to Abraham.

5 And Isaac sent Jacob away, and went to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebekah the mother of Jacob and Esau.

Another marriage of Esau

6 And when Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him to Padanaram, that he might take him a wife from thence, and blessed him, and charged him, and said, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.  ,

7 And Jacob, hearing the voice of his father and mother, went to Padanaram.

8 Then Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the eyes of my father Isaac

9 Then Esau went to Ishmael, and took Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, and the sister of Nebayot, and took them with him, and mixed them with his other wives.

Jacob’s dream

10 Jacob traveled from Beersheba to Haran,

11 And they came to a place, and spent the night there, because the sun had set, and took a stone from that place, and laid it there, and lay down there.

12 And he dreamed a dream, and behold, a ladder was laid upon the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven, and behold angels of God ascending and descending upon it.

13 Behold, the Lord stood over him, and he said, I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham, and the God of Isaac.  The land on which you lie, I will give it to you and your descendants.

14 Thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: and thou shalt go forth eastward and westward, and northward and southward; and from thee and from thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

15 Behold, I am with thee, whithersoever thou goest, I will keep thee, and bring thee again into this land; and I will not leave thee until I have fulfilled my word unto thee.

16 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Surely the LORD is in this place; but I knew it not.

17 And he was afraid, and said, How terrible is this place!  It cannot be a place other than the house of God, but it is the gate of heaven.

18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone which he had set for his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil thereon.

19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was Luz at first.

20 And Jacob sware unto them, saying, If the LORD God be with me, and keep me safe in the way wherein I walk, and give me bread to eat, and raiment to clothe me,

21 And I will return in peace to my father’s house, and the LORD will be my God.

22 And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be the house of God; and of all that thou shalt give me, I will give thee tithes of it.
