Genesis.

|
|
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 were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
|
|||
|
|
The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
|
|||
|
|
The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
|
|||
|
|
Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.
|
|||
|
|
The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
|
|||
|
|
The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: 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 into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
|
|||
|
|
and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah.
|
|||
|
|
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 Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
|
|||
|
|
the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
|
|||
|
|
the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. 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, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.
|
|||
|
|
Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber.
|
|||
|
|
The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
|
|||
|
|
The sons of Aram were: 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 the earth was 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 extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
|
|||
|
|
These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations.
|
|||
|
|
These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these in the earth after the flood.
