Genesis 10
10:1
Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.
10:2
The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
10:3
The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
10:4
The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
10:5
Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.
10:6
The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
10:7
The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan.
10:8
Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.
10:9
He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh”.
10:10
The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
10:11
Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
10:12
and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah.
10:13
Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
10:14
Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.
10:15
Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,
10:16
the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
10:17
the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
10:18
the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
10:19
The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha.
10:20
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.
10:21
Children were also born to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth.
10:22
The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
10:23
The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
10:24
Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.
10:25
To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan.
10:26
Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
10:27
Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
10:28
Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
10:29
Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
10:30
Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
10:31
These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations.
10:32
These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these in the earth after the flood.
