The Descendants of Shem
17 The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
The sons of Aram[a] were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshek.[b]
18 Arphaxad became the father of Shelah,[c] and Shelah became the father of Eber.
19 Two sons were born to Eber. The name of one was Peleg,[d] because in his days the earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan.
