בראשית 10

1 וְאֵלֶּה תּוֹלְדֹת בְּנֵי־נֹחַ שֵׁם חָם וָיָפֶת וַיִּוָּלְדוּ לָהֶם בָּנִים אַחַר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃

These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.

2 בְּנֵי יֶפֶת גֹּמֶר וּמָגוֹג וּמָדַי וְיָוָן וְתֻבָל וּמֶשֶׁךְ וְתִירָֽס׃

The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.

3 וּבְנֵי גֹּמֶר אַשְׁכֲּנַז וְרִיפַת וְתֹגַרְמָֽה׃

And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.

4 וּבְנֵי יָוָן אֱלִישָׁה וְתַרְשִׁישׁ כִּתִּים וְדֹדָנִֽים׃

And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim.

5 מֵאֵלֶּה נִפְרְדוּ אִיֵּי הַגּוֹיִם בְּאַרְצֹתָם אִישׁ לִלְשֹׁנוֹ לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃

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 וּבְנֵי חָם כּוּשׁ וּמִצְרַיִם וּפוּט וּכְנָֽעַן׃

And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.

7 וּבְנֵי כוּשׁ סְבָא וֽ͏ַחֲוִילָה וְסַבְתָּה וְרַעְמָה וְסַבְתְּכָא וּבְנֵי רַעְמָה שְׁבָא וּדְדָֽן׃

And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan.

8 וְכוּשׁ יָלַד אֶת־נִמְרֹד הוּא הֵחֵל לֽ͏ִהְיוֹת גִּבֹּר בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.

9 הֽוּא־הָיָה גִבֹּֽר־צַיִד לִפְנֵי יְהוָה עַל־כֵּן יֵֽאָמַר כְּנִמְרֹד גִּבּוֹר צַיִד לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃

And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.

10 וַתְּהִי רֵאשִׁית מַמְלַכְתּוֹ בָּבֶל וְאֶרֶךְ וְאַכַּד וְכַלְנֵה בְּאֶרֶץ שִׁנְעָֽר׃

And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.

11 מִן־הָאָרֶץ הַהִוא יָצָא אַשּׁוּר וַיִּבֶן אֶת־נִינְוֵה וְאֶת־רְחֹבֹת עִיר וְאֶת־כָּֽלַח׃

Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.

12 וְֽאֶת־רֶסֶן בֵּין נִֽינְוֵה וּבֵין כָּלַח הִוא הָעִיר הַגְּדֹלָֽה׃

Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.

13 וּמִצְרַיִם יָלַד אֶת־לוּדִים וְאֶת־עֲנָמִים וְאֶת־לְהָבִים וְאֶת־נַפְתֻּחִֽים׃

And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,

14 וְֽאֶת־פַּתְרֻסִים וְאֶת־כַּסְלֻחִים אֲשֶׁר יָצְאוּ מִשָּׁם פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְאֶת־כַּפְתֹּרִֽים׃

And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.

15 וּכְנַעַן יָלַד אֶת־צִידֹן בְּכֹרוֹ וְאֶת־חֵֽת׃

And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,

16 וְאֶת־הַיְבוּסִי וְאֶת־הָאֱמֹרִי וְאֵת הַגִּרְגָּשִֽׁי׃

And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,

17 וְאֶת־הֽ͏ַחִוִּי וְאֶת־הֽ͏ַעַרְקִי וְאֶת־הַסִּינִֽי׃

The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,

18 וְאֶת־הֽ͏ָאַרְוָדִי וְאֶת־הַצְּמָרִי וְאֶת־הֽ͏ַחֲמָתִי וְאַחַר נָפֹצוּ מִשְׁפְּחוֹת הֽ͏ַכְּנַעֲנִֽי׃

And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.

19 וֽ͏ַיְהִי גְּבוּל הֽ͏ַכְּנַעֲנִי מִצִּידֹן בֹּאֲכָה גְרָרָה עַד־עַזָּה בֹּאֲכָה סְדֹמָה וַעֲמֹרָה וְאַדְמָה וּצְבֹיִם עַד־לָֽשַׁע׃

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 אֵלֶּה בְנֵי־חָם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם לִלְשֹֽׁנֹתָם בְּאַרְצֹתָם בְּגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃

These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.

21 וּלְשֵׁם יֻלַּד גַּם־הוּא אֲבִי כָּל־בְּנֵי־עֵבֶר אֲחִי יֶפֶת הַגָּדֽוֹל׃

Of Sem also, the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

22 בְּנֵי שֵׁם עֵילָם וְאַשּׁוּר וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁד וְלוּד וֽ͏ַאֲרָֽם׃

The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23 וּבְנֵי אֲרָם עוּץ וְחוּל וְגֶתֶר וָמַֽשׁ׃

The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether, and Mess.

24 וְאַרְפַּכְשַׁד יָלַד אֶת־שָׁלַח וְשֶׁלַח יָלַד אֶת־עֵֽבֶר׃

But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.

25 וּלְעֵבֶר יֻלַּד שְׁנֵי בָנִים שֵׁם הֽ͏ָאֶחָד פֶּלֶג כִּי בְיָמָיו נִפְלְגָה הָאָרֶץ וְשֵׁם אָחִיו יָקְטָֽן׃

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 וְיָקְטָן יָלַד אֶת־אַלְמוֹדָד וְאֶת־שָׁלֶף וְאֶת־חֲצַרְמָוֶת וְאֶת־יָֽרַח׃

Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,

27 וְאֶת־הֲדוֹרָם וְאֶת־אוּזָל וְאֶת־דִּקְלָֽה׃

And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla,

28 וְאֶת־עוֹבָל וְאֶת־אֲבִֽימָאֵל וְאֶת־שְׁבָֽא׃

And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,

29 וְאֶת־אוֹפִר וְאֶת־חֲוִילָה וְאֶת־יוֹבָב כָּל־אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי יָקְטָֽן׃

And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan.

30 וֽ͏ַיְהִי מוֹשָׁבָם מִמֵּשָׁא בֹּאֲכָה סְפָרָה הַר הַקֶּֽדֶם׃

And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.

31 אֵלֶּה בְנֵי־שֵׁם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם לִלְשֹׁנֹתָם בְּאַרְצֹתָם לְגוֹיֵהֶֽם׃

These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.

32 אֵלֶּה מִשְׁפְּחֹת בְּנֵי־נֹחַ לְתוֹלְדֹתָם בְּגוֹיֵהֶם וּמֵאֵלֶּה נִפְרְדוּ הַגּוֹיִם בָּאָרֶץ אַחַר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃

These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.
