10:1 |
Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood. |
10:2 |
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. |
10:3 |
The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. |
10:4 |
The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. |
10:5 |
Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations. |
10:6 |
The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. |
10:7 |
The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. |
10:8 |
Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. |
10:9 |
He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh." |
10:10 |
The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. |
10:11 |
Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, |
10:12 |
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city). |
10:13 |
Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, |
10:14 |
Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim. |
10:15 |
Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth, |
10:16 |
the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite, |
10:17 |
the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite, |
10:18 |
the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. |
10:19 |
The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha. |
10:20 |
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations. |
10:21 |
To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born. |
10:22 |
The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. |
10:23 |
The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. |
10:24 |
Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber. |
10:25 |
To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan. |
10:26 |
Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, |
10:27 |
Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, |
10:28 |
Obal, Abimael, Sheba, |
10:29 |
Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. |
10:30 |
Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. |
10:31 |
These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations. |
10:32 |
These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. |
