9 He was a mighty hunter before God. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before God."

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.
tso Sidon yi Gerar va Gaza, Sodom, Gomora, Adma kple Zeboyim va se ɖe Lasa.)
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.
Ame siawoe nye Sem ƒe dzidzimeviwo. Woɖo wo ɖe woƒe dukɔwo, gbegbɔgblɔwo kple woƒe nɔƒewo nu.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations, and from these the nations branched out on the earth after the flood.
