Genesis 10

¹Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, namely, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

²The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

³And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

⁵Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

⁶And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

⁷And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.

⁸And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

⁹He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah: wherefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah.

¹⁰And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,

¹²and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

¹³And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

¹⁴and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim.

¹⁵And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth,

¹⁶and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,

¹⁷and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

¹⁸and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.

¹⁹And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha.

²⁰These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

²¹And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

²²The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.

²³And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

²⁴And Arpachshad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber.

²⁵And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

²⁶And Joktan begat 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 dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

³¹These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

³²These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

Genesis 10

¹This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood.

²The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

³The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites.

⁵From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.

⁶The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

⁷The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

⁸Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.

⁹He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”

¹⁰His kingdom began in Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹From that land he went forth into Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,

¹²and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.

¹³Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,

¹⁴the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites.

¹⁵And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites,

¹⁶the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

¹⁷the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

¹⁸the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans were scattered,

¹⁹and the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

²⁰These are the sons of Ham according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.

²¹And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth; Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber.

²²The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

²³The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

²⁴Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.

²⁵Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan.

²⁶And Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

²⁷Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

²⁸Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

²⁹Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.

³⁰Their territory extended from Mesha to Sephar, in the eastern hill country.

³¹These are the sons of Shem, according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.

³²All these are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their generations and nations. From these the nations of the earth spread out after the flood.
