¹⁸ and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon (as you come to Gerar) to Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, even to Lasha.

²⁷ and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah,

²⁸ and Obal and Abimael and Sheba,

²⁹ and Ophir and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
