17 The sons of Shem (name): Elam (eternity), Asshur (a step), Arphaxad (I fail as the breast), Lud (strife), and Aram. The sons of Aram: Uz (wooded), Hul (circle), Gether (fear), and Meshech (Mash). 18 Arphaxad (I fail as the breast) was the father of Shelah (sprout), and Shelah was the father of Eber (the region beyond). 19 Two sons were born to Eber (the region beyond): One was named Peleg (division), because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan (smallness). 20 And Joktan (smallness) was the father of Almodad (not measured), Sheleph (a drawing forth), Hazarmaveth (village of death), Jerah (new moon), 21 Hadoram (noble honor), Uzal (I shall be flooded), Diklah (palm grove), 22 Obal [Ebal], Abimael (my father is God), Sheba (seven), 23 Ophir (reducing to ashes), Havilah (circle), and Jobab (a desert). All these were sons of Joktan (smallness). 24 So from Shem (name) Arphaxad [Cainan,], Shelah, 25 Eber (the region beyond), Peleg (division), Reu (friend), 26 Serug (branch), Nahor (snorting), Terah (station), 27 and Abram (exalted father) (that is, Abraham (father of many)). 1 Chronicles 1:17-27, Berean Annotated Bible.
