Sons of SHEM

 

Genesis 10:31

King James Version

31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, 

after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

Now, we come to the third son of Noah.

Here's what Scripture says about Shem:

Genesis 10:21-30

King James Version

21 Unto Shem also, 

the father of all the children of Eber, 

the brother of Japheth the elder, 

even to him were children born.

22 The children of Shem; 

Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, 

and Lud, and Aram.

Genesis 10:21-30

King James Version

23 And the children of Aram; 

Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

Genesis 10:21-30

King James Version

24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; 

and Salah begat Eber.

Genesis 10:21-30

King James Version

25 And unto Eber were born two sons: 

the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; 

and his brother's name was Joktan.

Genesis 10:21-30

King James Version

26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph,

and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: 

wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod 

the mighty hunter before the Lord.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, 

and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

and afterward were the families of the Canaanites 

spread abroad.
