Genesis 10
1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the flood.
Dette er Noas Sønner, Sem, Kam og Jafets Slægtebog. Efter Vandfloden fødtes der dem Sønner.

8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Og Kusj avlede Nimrod, som var den første Storhersker på Jorden.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: therefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
Han var en vældig Jæger for HERRENs Øjne; derfor siger man: "En vældig Jæget for HERRENs Øjne som Nimrod."
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Fra først af omfattede hans Rige Babel, Erelk, Akkad og Kalne i Sinear;
11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
fra dette Land drog han til Assyrien og byggede Nineve, Rehobot- Ir, Kela
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Hivviterne, Arkiterne, Siniterne,
18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites dispersed.
Arvaditerne, Zemariterne og Hamatiterne; men senere bredte Kana'anæernes Slægter sig,
19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, to Gaza; as thou goest, to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha.
så at Kana'anæernes Område strakte sig fra Zidon i Retning af Gerar indtil Gaza, i Retning af Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma, og Zebojim indtil Lasja.

21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.

25 And to Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
Eber fødtes der to Sønner; den ene hed Peleg, thi på hans Tid adsplittedes Jordens Befolkning, og hans Broder hed Joktan.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
