17 Shem's sons---Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, Aram, Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshek---were the ancestors of the peoples who bear their names.

18 Arpachshad was the father of Shelah, who was the father of Eber.

19 Eber had two sons; one was named Peleg, because during his time the people of the world were divided, and the other was named Joktan.
