This is the land which came forth for Japheth and his sons as the portion of his inheritance which he should possess for himself and his sons, for their generations for ever;

five great islands, and a great land in the north. But it is cold, and the land of Ham is hot,

and the land of Shem is neither hot nor cold, but it is of blended cold and heat.

And Ham divided amongst his sons, and the first portion came forth for Cush towards the east, and to the west of him for Mizraim, and to the west of him for Put, and to the west of him [and to the west thereof] on the sea for Canaan.
