1And Ham divided the land among his sons. The first portion came to Cush toward the east; to the west of him for Mizraim; to the west of him for Put; and to the west of him, on the sea, for Canaan.

2Shem also divided the land among his sons. The first portion came to Elam and his sons, east of the river Tigris until it reaches the east—the whole land of India, and on the Red Sea on its coast, and the waters of Dedan, and all the mountains of Mebri and Ela, and all the land of Susan, and all that is on the side of Pharnak to the Red Sea and the river Tina.

3To Asshur came the second portion: all the land of Asshur and Nineveh and Shinar, extending to the border of India, and ascending and skirting the river.

4To Arpachshad came the third portion: all the land of the region of the Chaldees east of the Euphrates, bordering on the Red Sea, and all the waters of the desert close to the tongue of the sea that looks toward Egypt, all the land of Lebanon and Sanir and Amana to the border of the Euphrates.

5To Aram came the fourth portion: all the land of Mesopotamia between the Tigris and the Euphrates, north of the Chaldees, to the border of the mountains of Asshur and the land of Arara.

6To Lud came the fifth portion: the mountains of Asshur and all that belongs to them, reaching to the Great Sea and to the east of Asshur his brother.

7Japheth also divided the land of his inheritance among his sons.

8The first portion came to Gomer, to the east from the north side to the river Tina; and in the north the portion for Magog came forth, all the inner regions of the north until it reaches the sea of Meat.

9To Madai came his portion, that he should possess the land west of his two brothers to the islands and to the coasts of the islands.

10To Javan came the fourth portion: every island and the islands that are toward the border of Lud.

11To Tubal came the fifth portion: the middle of the tongue that approaches the border of the portion of Lud, to the second tongue, and to the region beyond the second tongue up to the third tongue.

12To Meshech came the sixth portion: all the region beyond the third tongue, until it approaches the east of Gadir.

13To Tiras came the seventh portion: four great islands in the midst of the sea, which reach to the portion of Ham; and the islands of Kamaturi came out by lot for the sons of Arpachshad as his inheritance.

14Thus the sons of Noah divided the land among their sons in the presence of Noah their father, and he bound them all by an oath, calling down a curse on anyone who sought to seize a portion that had not fallen to him by his lot.

15And they all said, 'So be it; so be it,' for themselves and their sons forever throughout their generations, until the day of judgment, on which the Lord God will judge them with a sword and with fire for all the unclean wickedness of their errors, with which they have filled the earth with transgression and uncleanness and fornication and sin.
