Genesis 10

¹These are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and of the sons who were born to them after the great flood

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

³And then the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah

⁴And the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim

⁵The islands of the Gentiles were divided by these into their regions, each one according to his tongue, and their families in their nations

⁶And the Sons of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan

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

⁸And then Cush conceived Nimrod; he began to be powerful on the earth

⁹And he was an able hunter before the Lord. From this, a proverb came forth: ‘Just like Nimrod, an able hunter before the Lord.

¹⁰And so, the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Chalanne, in the land of Shinar

¹¹From that land, Assur came forth, and he built Nineveh, and the streets of the city, and Calah

¹²and also Resen, between Nineveh and Calah. This is a great city

¹³And truly, Mizraim conceived Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, Naphtuhim

¹⁴and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, from whom came forth the Philistines and the Caphtorim

¹⁵Then Canaan conceived Sidon his firstborn, the Hittite

¹⁶and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, the Girgashite

¹⁷the Hivite, and the Arkite: the Sinite

¹⁸and the Arvadian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite. And after this, the peoples of the Canaanites became widespread

¹⁹And the borders of Canaan went, as one travels, from Sidon to Gerar, even to Gaza, until one enters Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Admah and Zeboiim, even to Lesa

²⁰These are the sons of Ham in their kindred, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations

²¹Likewise, from Shem, the father of all the sons of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born

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

²³The sons of Aram were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash

²⁴But truly, Arphaxad conceived Shelah, from whom was born Eber

²⁵And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth became divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan

²⁶This Joktan conceived Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, Jera

²⁷and Hadoram, and Uzal and Diklah

²⁸and Obal and Abimael, Sheb

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

³⁰And their habitation extended from Messa, as one sojourns, even to Sephar, a mountain in the east

³¹These are the sons of Shem according to their kindred, and tongues, and the regions within their nations

³²These are the families of Noah, according to their peoples and nations. The nations became divided according to these, on the earth after the great flood
