Genesis 10:1 - 10:32

After the Flood, Noah's sons fathered clans. Japeth's grandsons fathered the coastal peoples. One of Ham's grandsons was athe Nimrod, a mighty hunter and builder of cities. Ham's line will also give rise to the Philistines, and all manner of Canaanites who will cause problems later; their territory is largely the same area that Israel will occupy after the Six-Day war. Shem's sons include Aram, and his grandsons include Eber, so we've already got the roots for Semites, the Aramaic language, and the Hebrews.

There are lots of other names here, too; these are the descendants of Noah who became the nations which divided the earth.
