Eber was the father of two sons. One son was named Peleg. [63] He was given this name because the earth was divided during his life. The other son was named Joktan.
That is the list of the families from Noah’s sons. They are arranged according to their nations. From those families came all the people who spread across the earth after the flood.
I will tell you the things\par wise men have told me.\par The wise men’s ancestors {\cf2\super [27]} \par told them these things.\par They didn’t hide any secrets from me.\par
“Then you will know\par that I am the Lord your God,\par I live on Zion, {\cf2\super [34]} my holy mountain.\par Jerusalem will become holy.\par Strangers will never pass through\par that city again.”\par
God Most-High separated
the people on earth and gave
each nation its own land.
God set up borders for those people.
He made as many nations
as there are angels. [211]
