< Genesis 10 >
1 These were the descendants of the sons of Noah, that is, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them 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 were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.
3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.
4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim.
5 From these the coastland peoples separated and went into their lands, every one with its own language, according to their clans, by 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 The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.
7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteka. The sons of Raamah were 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 Cush became the father of Nimrod, who was the first conqueror on the earth.
Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter 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 The first centers of his kingdom were Babel, Erech, Akkad, and Kalneh, 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 Out of that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.
12 and Resen, which was between Nineveh and Calah. It was a large city.
Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.
13 Mizraim became the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,
And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,
14 the Pathrusites, the Kasluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites.
And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.
15 Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and of Heth,
And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,
16 also of the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,
17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites spread out.
And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.
19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar, as far as Gaza, and as one goes toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboyim, 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 were the sons of Ham, by their clans, by their languages, in their lands, and in their nations.
These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
21 Sons also were born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth. Shem was also the ancestor of all the people of Eber.
Of Sem also, the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.
22 The sons of Shem were Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech.
The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether, and Mess.
24 Arphaxad became the father of Shelah, and Shelah became the father of Eber.
But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.
25 Eber had two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name 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 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla,
And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,
29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan.
30 Their territory was from Mesha, all the way to 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 were the sons of Shem, according to their clans and their languages, in their lands, according to their nations.
These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.
32 These were the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations. From these the nations separated and went over 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.
