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.

Genesis 10

¹And these are births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and born to them are sons after the deluge.

²`Sons of Japheth are Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

³And sons of Gomer are Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

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

⁵By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.

⁶And sons of Ham are Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

⁷And sons of Cush are Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah are Sheba and Dedan.

⁸And Cush hath begotten Nimrod;

⁹he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, `As Nimrod the hero in hunting before Jehovah.'

¹⁰And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;

¹¹from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,

¹²and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it is the great city.

¹³And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,

¹⁴and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out Philistim,) and the Caphtorim.

¹⁵And Canaan hath begotten 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 afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered.

¹⁹And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, in thy coming towards Gerar, unto Gaza; in thy coming towards Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, unto Lasha.

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

²¹As to Shem, father of all sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the elder, he hath also begotten:

²²Sons of Shem are Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

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

²⁴And Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten Eber.

²⁵And to Eber have two sons been born; the name of the one is Peleg (for in his days hath the earth been divided,) and his brother's name is Joktan.

²⁶And Joktan hath begotten 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 are sons of Joktan;

³⁰and their dwelling is from Mesha, in thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east.

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

³²These are families of the sons of Noah, by their births, in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in the earth after the deluge.
