Genesis 10

1 Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.

And these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and sons are born to them after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth, Gamer, and Magog, and Madoi, and Jovan, and Elisa, and Thobel, and Mosoch, and Thiras.

Sons of Japheth [are] Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

3 And the sons of Gamer, Aschanaz, and Riphath, and Thorgama.

And sons of Gomer [are] Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Jovan, Elisa, and Tharseis, Cetians, Rhodians.

And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 From these were the islands of the Gentiles divided in their land, each according to his tongue, in their tribes and in their nations.

By these the islands of the nations have been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.

6 And the sons of Cham, Chus, and Mesrain, Phud, and Chanaan.

And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

7 And the sons of Chus, Saba, and Evila, and Sabatha, and Rhegma, and Sabathaca. And the sons of Rhegma, Saba, and Dadan.

And sons of Cush [are] Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah [are] Sheba and Dedan.

8 And Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth.

And Cush has begotten Nimrod;

9 He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord.

he has begun to be a hero in the land; he has been a hero in hunting before YHWH; therefore it is said, “As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before YHWH.”

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar.

And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;

11 Out of that land came Assur, and built Ninevi, and the city Rhooboth, and Chalach,

from that land he has gone out to Asshur, and builds Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,

12 and Dase between Ninevi and Chalach: this is the great city.

and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city.

13 And Mesrain begot the Ludiim, and the Nephthalim, and the Enemetiim, and the Labiim,

And Mitzraim has begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,

14 and the Patrosoniim, and the Chasmoniim (whence came forth Phylistiim) and the Gaphthoriim.

and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim (from where have come out Philistim), and the Caphtorim.

15 And Chanaan begot Sidon his first-born, and the Chettite,

And Canaan has begotten Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,

16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,

and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,

17 and the Evite, and the Arukite, and the Asennite,

and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

18 and the Aradian, and the Samarean, and the Amathite; and after this the tribes of the Chananites were dispersed.

and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite have been scattered.

19 And the boundaries of the Chananites were from Sidon till one comes to Gerara and Gaza, till one comes to Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, as far as Dasa.

And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, [in] your coming toward Gerar, to Gaza; [in] your coming toward Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, to Lasha.

20 There [were] the sons of Cham in their tribes according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

21 And to Sem himself also were children born, the father of all the sons of Heber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

As for Shem, father of all sons of Eber, the older brother of Japheth, he has also begotten.

22 Sons of Sem, Elam, and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Cainan.

Sons of Shem [are] Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23 And sons of Aram, Uz, and Ul, and Gater, and Mosoch.

And sons of Aram [are] Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

24 And Arphaxad begot Cainan, and Cainan begot Sala. And Sala begot Heber.

And Arphaxad has begotten Salah, and Salah has begotten Eber.

25 And to Heber were born two sons, the name of the one, Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother Jektan.

And two sons have been born to Eber; the name of the first [is] Peleg (for in his days the earth has been divided), and his brother’s name [is] Joktan.

26 And Jektan begot Elmodad, and Saleth, and Sarmoth, and Jarach,

And Joktan has begotten Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

27 and Odorrha, and Aibel, and Decla,

and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28 Eval, and Abimael, and Saba,

and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

29 and Uphir, and Evila, and Jobab, all these were the sons of Jektan.

and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these [are] sons of Joktan;

30 And their dwelling was from Masse, till one comes to Saphera, a mountain of the east.

and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] your coming toward Sephar, a mountain of the east.

31 These were the sons of Sem in their tribes, according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

These [are] sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations.

32 These are the tribes of the sons of Noe, according to their generations, according to their nations: of them were the islands of the Gentiles scattered over the earth after the flood.

These [are] families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, in their nations, and by these the nations have been parted in the earth after the flood.
