Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

5 N a enei nga motu o nga tauiwi i wehe puta noa i o ratou whenua, tena iwi i tona reo; tera toronga, tera toronga o ratou, i o ratou iwi hoki.

Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh”.

The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha.
