| Chapter 10 |
1 | Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, [namely], of Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. |
2 | The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. |
3 | And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. |
4 | And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. |
5 | Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. |
6 | And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. |
7 | And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan. |
8 | And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. |
9 | He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah: wherefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah. |
10 | And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. |
11 | Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah, |
12 | and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city). |
13 | And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, |
14 | and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim. |
15 | And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth, |
16 | and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, |
17 | and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, |
18 | and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad. |
19 | And 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. |
20 | These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. |
21 | And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born. |
22 | The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. |
23 | And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. |
24 | And Arpachshad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber. |
25 | And 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. |
26 | And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, |
27 | and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, |
28 | and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, |
29 | and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. |
30 | And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. |
31 | These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. |
32 | These 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. |
