| 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. |
