6 Lamadodana kaHamuk: UKushil loMizirayimi loPutim loKhanani. 7 Lamadodana kaKushi: USeba loHavila loSabitha loRama loSabitheka. Lamadodana kaRahama: UShebhan loDedanio. 8 UKushi wasezala uNimrodi; yena waqala ukuba liqhawe emhlabeni. 9 Yena waba ngumzingeli olamandla phambi kweNkosi; ngakho kuthiwa: NjengoNimrodi, umzingeli olamandla phambi kweNkosi. 10 Lokuqala kombuso wakhe yiBabeli leEreki leAkadi leKaline elizweni leShinarip. 11 Kwaphuma1 kulelolizwe uAshuri, wasesakha iNineve leRehobothi-Ire leKala, 12 leReseni phakathi kweNineve leKala; lo ngumuzi omkhulu. 13 UMizirayimi wasezalaq amaLudi lamaAnami lamaLehabi lamaNafethuhi 14 lamaPatrusi lamaKaseluhi - lapho okwavela khona amaFilistir - lamaKafitoris.

15 UKhanani wasezala uSidoni2 izibulo lakhe, loHethi, 16 lomJebusi lomAmori lomGirigashi 17 lomHivi lomArki lomSini 18 lomArvadi lomZemari lomHamathi; lemva kwalokho usendo lwamaKhanani lwahlakazeka. 19 Umngcele wamaKhanani wasusukela eSidoni usiya eGerari uze ufike eGaza3, usiya eSodoma leGomora leAdima leZeboyimi kuze kufike eLasha. 20 La ngamadodana kaHamu, ngokosendo lwawo, langendimi zawo, emazweni awo, ezizweni zawo.

21 UShemu laye wasezalelwa amadodana; unguyise wamadodana wonke akaEberi, umfowabo kaJafethi, omkhulu. 22 Amadodana kaShemut: UElamu loAshuri loArpakishadi loLudi loAramu. 23 Lamadodana kaAramuu: U-Uzi loHuli loGetheri loMashi. 24 UArpakishadi wasezala uShelav; uShela wasezala uEberi. 25 Kwasekuzalelwa uEberi amadodana amabili, ibizo lomunye nguPelegi4, ngoba ensukwini zayo umhlaba wehlukaniswa; lebizo lomfowabo nguJokithani. 26 UJokithani wasezala uAlimodadi loShelefi loHazamavethi loJera 27 loHadoramu loUzali loDikila 28 loObali loAbhimayeli loShebha 29 loOfiriw loHavila loJobabi; bonke labo ngamadodana kaJokithani. 30 Indawo yokuhlala kwabo isukela eMesha lapho usiya eSefari, intaba yempumalanga. 31 La ngamadodana kaShemu, ngokosendo lwabo langendimi zabo, emazweni abo ngokwezizwe zabo.
