Genesis 10

Genesis 10:1-32

[1]And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and to 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]From these came the distribution of the isles of the nations, according to 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 begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.

[9]He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah!

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

[11]From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,

[12]and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city.

[13]--And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,

[14]and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.

[15]--And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,

[16]and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,

[17]and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

[18]and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad.

[19]And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha.

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

[21]And to Shem--to him also were sons born; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

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

[23]And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

[24]--And Arphaxad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.

[25]And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

[26]And Joktan begot 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 sons of Joktan.

[30]And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain.

[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 from these came the distribution of the nations on the earth after the flood.
