Chapter 10

  Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.  

-

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

-

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

-

  The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.  

-

  Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.  

-

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

-

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

-

  Cush became the father of Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.  

-

  He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, 'Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh.'  

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

  Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,  

-

  Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.  

-

  Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,  

-

  the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,  

-

  the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,  

-

  the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.  

-

  The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.  

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

  Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.  

-

  To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided. His brother's name was Joktan.  

-

  Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,  

-

  Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,  

-

  Obal, Abimael, Sheba,  

-

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

-

  Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.  

-

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

-

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