1 Chronicles

1 Chronicles 1:17–27

17The sons of Shem:

Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

[The sons of Aram:]h Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech.i

18Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.

19Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg,j 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,k Abimael, Sheba, 23Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.

24So from Shem came Arphaxad, Shelah,l 25Eber, Peleg, Reu, 26Serug, Nahor, Terah, 27and Abram (that is, Abraham).
