Genesis 10
1 The following are the genealogies of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They had sons born to them after the flood.
| וְאֵלֶּה תּוֹלְדֹת בְּנֵי־נֹחַ שֵׁם חָם וָיָפֶת וַיִּוָּלְדוּ לָהֶם בָּנִים אַחַר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃ |
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
| בְּנֵי יֶפֶת גֹּמֶר וּמָגוֹג וּמָדַי וְיָוָן וְתֻבָל וּמֶשֶׁךְ וְתִירָֽס׃ |
3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
| וּבְנֵי גֹּמֶר אַשְׁכְּנַז וְרִיפַת וְתֹגַרְמָֽה׃ |
4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
| וּבְנֵי יָוָן אֱלִישָׁה וְתַרְשִׁישׁ כִּתִּים וְדֹדָנִֽים׃ |
5 The descendants of these ancestors spread throughout the coastal areas, each group having their own language, with their families developing into different nations.
| מֵאֵלֶּה נִפְרְדוּ אִיֵּי הַגּוֹיִם בְּאַרְצֹתָם אִישׁ לִלְשֹׁנוֹ לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃ |
6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
| וּבְנֵי חָם כּוּשׁ וּמִצְרַיִם וּפוּט וּכְנָֽעַן׃ |
7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
| וּבְנֵי כוּשׁ סְבָא וַֽחֲוִילָה וְסַבְתָּה וְרַעְמָה וְסַבְתְּכָא וּבְנֵי רַעְמָה שְׁבָא וּדְדָֽן׃ |
8 Cush was also the father of Nimrod, who set himself up as the first tyrant on earth.
| וְכוּשׁ יָלַד אֶת־נִמְרֹד הוּא הֵחֵל לִֽהְיוֹת גִּבֹּר בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ |
9 He was a powerful fighter who defied the Lord; which is why there's the expression, “Like Nimrod, a powerful fighter who defied the Lord.”
| הֽוּא־הָיָה גִבֹּֽר־צַיִד לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה עַל־כֵּן יֵֽאָמַר כְּנִמְרֹד גִּבּוֹר צַיִד לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
10 His kingdom began in the cities of Babel, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh, all located in the land of Shinar.
| וַתְּהִי רֵאשִׁית מַמְלַכְתּוֹ בָּבֶל וְאֶרֶךְ וְאַכַּד וְכַלְנֵה בְּאֶרֶץ שִׁנְעָֽר׃ |
11 From there he moved into Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,
| מִן־הָאָרֶץ הַהִוא יָצָא אַשּׁוּר וַיִּבֶן אֶת־נִינְוֵה וְאֶת־רְחֹבֹת עִיר וְאֶת־כָּֽלַח׃ |
12 and Resen, which lies between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.
| וְֽאֶת־רֶסֶן בֵּין נִֽינְוֵה וּבֵין כָּלַח הִוא הָעִיר הַגְּדֹלָֽה׃ |
13 Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,
| וּמִצְרַיִם יָלַד אֶת־לוּדִים וְאֶת־עֲנָמִים וְאֶת־לְהָבִים וְאֶת־נַפְתֻּחִֽים׃ |
14 the Pathrusites, the Casluhites, and the Caphtorites (ancestors of the Philistines).
| וְֽאֶת־פַּתְרֻסִים וְאֶת־כַּסְלֻחִים אֲשֶׁר יָצְאוּ מִשָּׁם פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְאֶת־כַּפְתֹּרִֽים׃ |
15 Canaan was the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and of the Hittites,
| וּכְנַעַן יָלַד אֶת־צִידֹן בְּכֹרוֹ וְאֶת־חֵֽת׃ |
16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
| וְאֶת־הַיְבוּסִי וְאֶת־הָאֱמֹרִי וְאֵת הַגִּרְגָּשִֽׁי׃ |
17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
| וְאֶת־הַֽחִוִּי וְאֶת־הַֽעַרְקִי וְאֶת־הַסִּינִֽי׃ |
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite tribes spread out
| וְאֶת־הָֽאַרְוָדִי וְאֶת־הַצְּמָרִי וְאֶת־הַֽחֲמָתִי וְאַחַר נָפֹצוּ מִשְׁפְּחוֹת הַֽכְּנַעֲנִֽי׃ |
19 and the territory of the Canaanites stretched from Sidon towards Gerar and all the way to Gaza, then towards Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, all the way to Lasha.
| וַיְהִי גְּבוּל הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי מִצִּידֹן בֹּאֲכָה גְרָרָה עַד־עַזָּה בֹּאֲכָה סְדֹמָה וַעֲמֹרָה וְאַדְמָה וּצְבֹיִם עַד־לָֽשַׁע׃ |
20 These were the sons of Ham according to their tribes, languages, lands, and nation.
| אֵלֶּה בְנֵי־חָם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם לִלְשֹֽׁנֹתָם בְּאַרְצֹתָם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃ |
21 Shem, whose older brother was Japheth, also had sons. Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber.
| וּלְשֵׁם יֻלַּד גַּם־הוּא אֲבִי כׇּל־בְּנֵי־עֵבֶר אֲחִי יֶפֶת הַגָּדֽוֹל׃ |
22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
| בְּנֵי שֵׁם עֵילָם וְאַשּׁוּר וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁד וְלוּד וַֽאֲרָֽם׃ |
23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
| וּבְנֵי אֲרָם עוּץ וְחוּל וְגֶתֶר וָמַֽשׁ׃ |
24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah. Shelah was the father of Eber.
| וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁד יָלַד אֶת־שָׁלַח וְשֶׁלַח יָלַד אֶת־עֵֽבֶר׃ |
25 Eber had two sons. One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; the name of his brother was Joktan.
| וּלְעֵבֶר יֻלַּד שְׁנֵי בָנִים שֵׁם הָֽאֶחָד פֶּלֶג כִּי בְיָמָיו נִפְלְגָה הָאָרֶץ וְשֵׁם אָחִיו יׇקְטָֽן׃ |
26 Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
| וְיׇקְטָן יָלַד אֶת־אַלְמוֹדָד וְאֶת־שָׁלֶף וְאֶת־חֲצַרְמָוֶת וְאֶת־יָֽרַח׃ |
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
| וְאֶת־הֲדוֹרָם וְאֶת־אוּזָל וְאֶת־דִּקְלָֽה׃ |
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
| וְאֶת־עוֹבָל וְאֶת־אֲבִֽימָאֵל וְאֶת־שְׁבָֽא׃ |
29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. These were all sons of Joktan.
| וְאֶת־אוֹפִר וְאֶת־חֲוִילָה וְאֶת־יוֹבָב כׇּל־אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי יׇקְטָֽן׃ |
30 They lived in the land lying between Mesha to Sephar, in the hill country to the east.
| וַיְהִי מוֹשָׁבָם מִמֵּשָׁא בֹּאֲכָה סְפָרָה הַר הַקֶּֽדֶם׃ |
31 These were the sons of Shem, according to their tribes, languages, lands, and nations.
| אֵלֶּה בְנֵי־שֵׁם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם לִלְשֹׁנֹתָם בְּאַרְצֹתָם לְגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃ |
32 These were all the tribes descended from Noah's sons, according to their genealogies and national groups. From these ancestors the different nations of the earth spread around the world after the flood.
| אֵלֶּה מִשְׁפְּחֹת בְּנֵי־נֹחַ לְתוֹלְדֹתָם בְּגוֹיֵהֶם וּמֵאֵלֶּה נִפְרְדוּ הַגּוֹיִם בָּאָרֶץ אַחַר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃ |
