創世記10:1-5

10:1 挪亞的兒子閃、含、雅弗的後代記在下面。洪水以後，他們都生了兒子。
10:2 雅弗的兒子是歌篾、瑪各、瑪代、雅完、土巴、米設、提拉。
10:3 歌篾的兒子是亞實基拿、利法、陀迦瑪。
10:4 雅完的兒子是以利沙、他施、基提、多單。
10:5 這些人的後裔將各國的地土、海島分開居住，各隨各的方言、宗族立國。

This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.

² The sons of Japheth:

Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek and Tiras.

³ The sons of Gomer:

Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.

⁴ The sons of Javan:

Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites and the Rodanites. ⁵ (From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)

**************

    洪水之後剩下挪亞一家人，所以我們都是挪亞的後代，挪亞有三個兒子：閃、含、雅弗。而在這裡首先記載雅弗得族系。

    雅弗通常認為是白種人，居住在歐洲一帶。
