Genesis 10

¹These are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and of the sons who were born to them after the great flood.

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

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

⁴And the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.

⁵The islands of the Gentiles were divided by these into their regions, each one according to his tongue, and their families in their nations.

⁶And the Sons of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

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

⁸And then Cush conceived Nimrod; he began to be powerful on the earth.

⁹And he was an able hunter before the Lord. From this, a proverb came forth: ‘Just like Nimrod, an able hunter before the Lord.’

¹⁰And so, the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Chalanne, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹From that land, Assur came forth, and he built Nineveh, and the streets of the city, and Calah,

¹²and also Resen, between Nineveh and Calah. This is a great city.

¹³And truly, Mizraim conceived Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

¹⁴and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, from whom came forth the Philistines and the Caphtorim.

¹⁵Then Canaan conceived Sidon his firstborn, the Hittite,

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

¹⁷the Hivite, and the Arkite: the Sinite,

¹⁸and the Arvadian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite. And after this, the peoples of the Canaanites became widespread.

¹⁹And the borders of Canaan went, as one travels, from Sidon to Gerar, even to Gaza, until one enters Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Admah and Zeboiim, even to Lesa.

²⁰These are the sons of Ham in their kindred, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.

²¹Likewise, from Shem, the father of all the sons of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

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

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

²⁴But truly, Arphaxad conceived Shelah, from whom was born Eber.

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

²⁶This Joktan conceived Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, Jerah

²⁷and Hadoram, and Uzal and Diklah,

²⁸and Obal and Abimael, Sheba

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

³⁰And their habitation extended from Messa, as one sojourns, even to Sephar, a mountain in the east.

³¹These are the sons of Shem according to their kindred, and tongues, and the regions within their nations.

³²These are the families of Noah, according to their peoples and nations. The nations became divided according to these, on the earth after the great flood.

Genesis 10

¹These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.

²The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.

³And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.

⁴And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim.

⁵By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.

⁶And the Sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.

⁷And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba, and Dadan.

⁸Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.

⁹And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.

¹⁰And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.

¹¹Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.

¹²Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.

¹³And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim and Laabim, Nephthuim.

¹⁴And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.

¹⁵And Chanaan begot Sidon his firstborn, the Hethite,

¹⁶And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite.

¹⁷The Hevite and Aracite: the Sinite,

¹⁸And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.

¹⁹And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.

²⁰These are the children of Cham in their kindreds and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.

²¹Of Sem also the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

²²The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

²³The sons of Aram: Us, and Hull, and Gether; and Mes.

²⁴But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.

²⁵And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days was the earth divided: and his brother's name Jectan.

²⁶Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,

²⁷And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla,

²⁸And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,

²⁹And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan.

³⁰And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.

³¹These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.

³²These are the families of Noe, according to their people and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.
