Genesis 10

1 This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites.

5 From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”

10 His kingdom began in Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 From that land he went forth into Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,

12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.

13 Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,

14 the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites.

15 And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites,

16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans were scattered,

19 and the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.

21 And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth; Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber.

22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.

25 Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan.

26 And Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.

30 Their territory extended from Mesha to Sephar, in the eastern hill country.

31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.

32 All these are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their generations and nations. From these the nations of the earth spread out after the flood.

1 ¶ Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

6 ¶ And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

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

11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a great city.

13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

15 ¶ And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,

16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

20 These [are] the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, [and] in their nations.

21 ¶ Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were [children] born.

22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.

25 And unto 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.

26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these [were] the sons of Joktan.

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

31 These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

32 These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

1 This is the generation of the children of Noah: Shem, Ham, Japheth. And they begat children after the flood.

2 the children of Japheth are these: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Thubal, Mesech and Thiras.

3 but the children of Gomer are these: Askenas, Riphath and Thogarma.

4 the children of Javan are these: Elisa, Tharsis, Kittim and Dodanim.

5 Of these are spread abroad the isles of the heathen in their countries, every one according to his language, kindred, and people.

6 The children of Ham are these: Chus, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7 But the children of Chus are these. Seba, Hevila, Sabtha, Raema and Sabtecha. But the children of Raema are these: Sheba and Dedan.

8 And Chus begat Nimrod. And he began to be a mighty lord in the earth,

9 And was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore they say, This is a mighty hunter before the LORD, as Nimrod.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was at Babylon, and at Erech, and at Akkad, and at Calne, in the land of Sinear.

11 Afterward came Assyria out of the land, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Kalah,

12 Resen between Nineveh and Kalah. This is a great city.

13 Mizraim begat Ludim, Anamim, Leabim, Naphthuhim,

14 Pathrusim and Kasluhim. From thence come the Philistim and Kaphthorim.

15 And Canaan begat Zidon his first son, and Heth,

16 Jebusi, Emori, Girgasi,

17 Hivi, Arki, Sini,

18 Arvadi, and Zemari, and Hamathi. Therefore the families of the Canaanites are spread out.

19 And their border was from Zidon, through Gerar, unto Gaza, unto Sodom, and unto Gomorrha, and unto Adama, and unto Zeboim, and unto Lasa.

20 These are the children of Ham in their generations, tongues, countries, and people.

21 And Shem, the greater brother of Japheth, begat children also, who is the father of all the children of Eber.

22 And these are his children; Elam, Asshur, Arphachad, Lud, and Aram.

23 And the children of Aram are these: Uz, Hut, Gether, and Mas.

24 And Arphachad begat Salah, and Salah begat Eber.

25 And Eber begat two sons. One was called Peleg, because in his days the world was divided: and his brother's name was Jaketan.

26 And Jaketan begat Almodad, Saleph, Hazarmaveth, Jarah,

27 Hadoram, Usal, Dikela,

28 Obal, Abimael, Seba,

29 Ophir, Hevila and Jobab. These are all the children of Jaketan.

30 And their dwelling was from Mesa even unto Sephar, unto the mountain eastward.

31 These are the children of Shem in their generations, tongues, countries, and people.

32 Now these are the seed of the children of Noah in their generations and in their people. Of whom are spread abroad the people of the earth after the flood.
