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