< Genesis 10 >

1 Now, these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and there were born to them sons after the flood.
These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog, and Madai, and Javan and Tubal, —and Meshech, and Tiras.
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath, and Togarmah.
And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.
4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish. Kittim, and Rodanim, —
And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim.
5 From these, were dispersed [the inhabitants] of the coastlands of the nations, in their lands, each man by his tongue, by their families in their nations.
By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.
6 And, the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan.
And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.
7 And, the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah and Raamah, and Sabtechah, —And the sons of Raamah, Sheba and Dedan.
And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan.
8 And, Cush begat Nimrod.—he, became a hero in the earth;
Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
9 he, became a hero of hunting before Yahweh, for this cause, it is said. Like Nimrod, a hero of hunting before Yahweh.
And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.
10 So the beginning of his kingdom came to be Babel, and Erech, and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.
11 From that land, went forth Asshur, —and he built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah:
Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.
12 and Resen, between Niveveh and Calah, —the same is the great city.
Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.
13 And, Mizraim, begat Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim, and Naphtuchim;
And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,
14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim whence came forth Philistim and Caphtorim.
And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.
15 And Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth:
And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,
16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,
17 and the Hivite and the Arkite, and the Sinite:
The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,
18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite, —and after-wards, were spread abroad the families of the Canaanite.
And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.
19 And it came to pass that the boundary of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou enterest in towards Gerar unto Gaza, —as thou enterest in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, as far as Lasha.
And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.
20 These, are the sons of Ham, by their families by their tongues, in their lands in their nations.
These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
21 Now, to Shem, father of all the sons of Eber, elder brother of Japheth, to him also, were children born.
Of Sem also, the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.
22 The sons of Shem, Elam and Asshur, —and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.
The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And, the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul, and Gether and Mash.
The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether, and Mess.
24 Now Arpachshad, begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber.
But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.
25 And to Eber, were born two sons, —the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days, was the earth divided, and the name of his brother was Joktan.
And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother’s name Jectan.
26 Now, Joktan, begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;
Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,
27 and Hadoram and Uzal, and Diklah:
And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla,
28 and Obal and Abimael, and Sheba:
And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,
29 and Ophir and Havilah, and Jobab—all these were sons of Joktan.
And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan.
30 And it came to pass that their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou enterest in towards Sephar, the mountain of the east.
And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.
31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families by their tongues, in their lands by their nations.
These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.
32 These, are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations in their nations, and from these, were dispersed the nations in the earth after the flood.
These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.
