| Chapter 10 |
1 | And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and to 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 | From these came the distribution of the isles of the nations, according to their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. |
6 | And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. |
7 | And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. |
8 | And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth. |
9 | He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the 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 | From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah, |
12 | and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city. |
13 | -- And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim, |
14 | and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim. |
15 | -- And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, 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 afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad. |
19 | And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha. |
20 | These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. |
21 | And to Shem -- to him also were [sons] born; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. |
22 | The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. |
23 | And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. |
24 | -- And Arphaxad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber. |
25 | And to 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 begot 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 sons of Joktan. |
30 | And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain. |
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 from these came the distribution of the nations on the earth after the flood. |
