Genesis 10
1And these are the
generations of the sons of Noah : Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and
sons were born to them after the Flood.
2The sons of
Japheth
were
Gomer and
Magog and
Madai and
Javan and
Tubal , and
Meshech and
Tiras.
3And the sons of Gomer were
Ashkenaz and
Riphath and
Togarmah .
4And the sons of Javan were
Elishah and
Tarshish ,
Kittim , and
Dodanim .
5From these, the islands of the nations separated in
their lands, each one to his language, according to their families,
in their nations.
6And the sons of
Ham
were
Cush/a> and
Mizraim and
Put and
Canaan.
7And the sons of Cush were
Seba and
Havilah and
Sabta and
Raamah and
Sabtecha , and the sons of Raamah were
Sheba and
Dedan .
8And Cush begot
Nimrod ; he began to be a mighty man in the land.
9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is
said, ‘Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.’
10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon and Erech
and Accad and Calneh, in the
land of Shinar .
11From that land emerged
Asshur , and he built Nineveh and Rehoboth ir and Calah.
12And Resen, between Nineveh and between Calah; that is
the great city.
13And Mizraim begot the
Ludim and the
Anamim and the
Lehabim and the
Naphtuhim ,
14And the
Pathrusim and the Casluhim , from whom the Philistines emerged,
and the
Caphtorim .
15And Canaan begot
Zidon his firstborn and
Heth .
16And the
Jebusites and the
Amorites and the
Girgashites .
17And the
Hivvites and the
Arkites and the
Sinites .
18And the
Arvadites and the
Zemarites and the
Hamathites , and afterwards
the families of the Canaanites were
scattered.
19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you
come to Gerar, until Gaza, as you come to
Sodom and Gomorrah , and Admah and Zeboiim, until Lesha.
20These are the sons of Ham according to their families,
and their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
21And to Shem were also born [children; he was] the
father of all the people of the other side [of the river], the
brother of Japheth the elder.
22The sons of
Shem were
Elam and
Asshur and
Arpachshad and
Lud and
Aram .
23And the sons of Aram were
Uz and
Hul and
Gether and
Mash .
24And Arpachshad begot
Shelah , and Shelah begot
Eber .
25And to Eber were born two sons: one was named
Peleg , because in his days the earth was divided, and the name
of his brother was
Joktan .
26And Joktan begot
Almodad and
Sheleph and
Hazarmaveth and
Jerah.
27And
Hadoram and
Uzal and
Diklah .
28And
Obal and
Abimael and
Sheba .
29And
Ophir and
Havilah and
Jobab ; all these were the sons of Joktan.
30And their settlement was from
Mesha, as you come to
Sephar, the mountain of the east.
31TheThese are the sons of Shem according to their families,
according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their
nations.
32These are the families of the sons of Noah according to
their generations, in their nations, and from these, the nations
were separated on the earth after the Flood.
