< Genesis 10 >

1 This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood.
וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ תֹּולְדֹ֣ת בְּנֵי־נֹ֔חַ שֵׁ֖ם חָ֣ם וָיָ֑פֶת וַיִּוָּלְד֥וּ לָהֶ֛ם בָּנִ֖ים אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
בְּנֵ֣י יֶ֔פֶת גֹּ֣מֶר וּמָגֹ֔וג וּמָדַ֖י וְיָוָ֣ן וְתֻבָ֑ל וּמֶ֖שֶׁךְ וְתִירָֽס׃
3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
וּבְנֵ֖י גֹּ֑מֶר אַשְׁכֲּנַ֥ז וְרִיפַ֖ת וְתֹגַרְמָֽה׃
4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites.
וּבְנֵ֥י יָוָ֖ן אֱלִישָׁ֣ה וְתַרְשִׁ֑ישׁ כִּתִּ֖ים וְדֹדָנִֽים׃
5 From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.
מֵ֠אֵלֶּה נִפְרְד֞וּ אִיֵּ֤י הַגֹּויִם֙ בְּאַרְצֹתָ֔ם אִ֖ישׁ לִלְשֹׁנֹ֑ו לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם בְּגֹויֵהֶֽם׃
6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
וּבְנֵ֖י חָ֑ם כּ֥וּשׁ וּמִצְרַ֖יִם וּפ֥וּט וּכְנָֽעַן׃
7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
וּבְנֵ֣י כ֔וּשׁ סְבָא֙ וֽ͏ַחֲוִילָ֔ה וְסַבְתָּ֥ה וְרַעְמָ֖ה וְסַבְתְּכָ֑א וּבְנֵ֥י רַעְמָ֖ה שְׁבָ֥א וּדְדָֽן׃
8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.
וְכ֖וּשׁ יָלַ֣ד אֶת־נִמְרֹ֑ד ה֣וּא הֵחֵ֔ל לֽ͏ִהְיֹ֥ות גִּבֹּ֖ר בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”
הֽוּא־הָיָ֥ה גִבֹּֽר־צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה עַל־כֵּן֙ יֵֽאָמַ֔ר כְּנִמְרֹ֛ד גִּבֹּ֥ור צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
10 His kingdom began in Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
וַתְּהִ֨י רֵאשִׁ֤ית מַמְלַכְתֹּו֙ בָּבֶ֔ל וְאֶ֖רֶךְ וְאַכַּ֣ד וְכַלְנֵ֑ה בְּאֶ֖רֶץ שִׁנְעָֽר׃
11 From that land he went forth into Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,
מִן־הָאָ֥רֶץ הַהִ֖וא יָצָ֣א אַשּׁ֑וּר וַיִּ֙בֶן֙ אֶת־נִ֣ינְוֵ֔ה וְאֶת־רְחֹבֹ֥ת עִ֖יר וְאֶת־כָּֽלַח׃
12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.
וְֽאֶת־רֶ֔סֶן בֵּ֥ין נִֽינְוֵ֖ה וּבֵ֣ין כָּ֑לַח הִ֖וא הָעִ֥יר הַגְּדֹלָֽה׃
13 Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,
וּמִצְרַ֡יִם יָלַ֞ד אֶת־לוּדִ֧ים וְאֶת־עֲנָמִ֛ים וְאֶת־לְהָבִ֖ים וְאֶת־נַפְתֻּחִֽים׃
14 the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites.
וְֽאֶת־פַּתְרֻסִ֞ים וְאֶת־כַּסְלֻחִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָצְא֥וּ מִשָּׁ֛ם פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים וְאֶת־כַּפְתֹּרִֽים׃ ס
15 And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites,
וּכְנַ֗עַן יָלַ֛ד אֶת־צִידֹ֥ן בְּכֹרֹ֖ו וְאֶת־חֵֽת׃
16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
וְאֶת־הַיְבוּסִי֙ וְאֶת־הָ֣אֱמֹרִ֔י וְאֵ֖ת הַגִּרְגָּשִֽׁי׃
17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
וְאֶת־הֽ͏ַחִוִּ֥י וְאֶת־הֽ͏ַעַרְקִ֖י וְאֶת־הַסִּינִֽי׃
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans were scattered,
וְאֶת־הֽ͏ָאַרְוָדִ֥י וְאֶת־הַצְּמָרִ֖י וְאֶת־הֽ͏ַחֲמָתִ֑י וְאַחַ֣ר נָפֹ֔צוּ מִשְׁפְּחֹ֖ות הֽ͏ַכְּנַעֲנִֽי׃
19 and the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
וֽ͏ַיְהִ֞י גְּב֤וּל הֽ͏ַכְּנַעֲנִי֙ מִצִּידֹ֔ן בֹּאֲכָ֥ה גְרָ֖רָה עַד־עַזָּ֑ה בֹּאֲכָ֞ה סְדֹ֧מָה וַעֲמֹרָ֛ה וְאַדְמָ֥ה וּצְבֹיִ֖ם עַד־לָֽשַׁע׃
20 These are the sons of Ham according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.
אֵ֣לֶּה בְנֵי־חָ֔ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם לִלְשֹֽׁנֹתָ֑ם בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם בְּגֹויֵהֶֽם׃ ס
21 And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth; Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber.
וּלְשֵׁ֥ם יֻלַּ֖ד גַּם־ה֑וּא אֲבִי֙ כָּל־בְּנֵי־עֵ֔בֶר אֲחִ֖י יֶ֥פֶת הַגָּדֹֽול׃
22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
בְּנֵ֥י שֵׁ֖ם עֵילָ֣ם וְאַשּׁ֑וּר וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁ֖ד וְל֥וּד וֽ͏ַאֲרָֽם׃
23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
וּבְנֵ֖י אֲרָ֑ם ע֥וּץ וְח֖וּל וְגֶ֥תֶר וָמַֽשׁ׃
24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.
וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁ֖ד יָלַ֣ד אֶת־שָׁ֑לַח וְשֶׁ֖לַח יָלַ֥ד אֶת־עֵֽבֶר׃
25 Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan.
וּלְעֵ֥בֶר יֻלַּ֖ד שְׁנֵ֣י בָנִ֑ים שֵׁ֣ם הֽ͏ָאֶחָ֞ד פֶּ֗לֶג כִּ֤י בְיָמָיו֙ נִפְלְגָ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ וְשֵׁ֥ם אָחִ֖יו יָקְטָֽן׃
26 And Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
וְיָקְטָ֣ן יָלַ֔ד אֶת־אַלְמֹודָ֖ד וְאֶת־שָׁ֑לֶף וְאֶת־חֲצַרְמָ֖וֶת וְאֶת־יָֽרַח׃
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
וְאֶת־הֲדֹורָ֥ם וְאֶת־אוּזָ֖ל וְאֶת־דִּקְלָֽה׃
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
וְאֶת־עֹובָ֥ל וְאֶת־אֲבִֽימָאֵ֖ל וְאֶת־שְׁבָֽא׃
29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
וְאֶת־אֹופִ֥ר וְאֶת־חֲוִילָ֖ה וְאֶת־יֹובָ֑ב כָּל־אֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵ֥י יָקְטָֽן׃
30 Their territory extended from Mesha to Sephar, in the eastern hill country.
וֽ͏ַיְהִ֥י מֹושָׁבָ֖ם מִמֵּשָׁ֑א בֹּאֲכָ֥ה סְפָ֖רָה הַ֥ר הַקֶּֽדֶם׃
31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.
אֵ֣לֶּה בְנֵי־שֵׁ֔ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם לִלְשֹׁנֹתָ֑ם בְּאַרְצֹתָ֖ם לְגֹויֵהֶֽם׃
32 All these are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their generations and nations. From these the nations of the earth spread out after the flood.
אֵ֣לֶּה מִשְׁפְּחֹ֧ת בְּנֵי־נֹ֛חַ לְתֹולְדֹתָ֖ם בְּגֹויֵהֶ֑ם וּמֵאֵ֜לֶּה נִפְרְד֧וּ הַגֹּויִ֛ם בָּאָ֖רֶץ אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃ פ
