Genesis Chapter 10 1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and sons were born to them after the flood.2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.4 The sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish and Kittim and Dodanim.5 By these, the coasts of the Gentiles were divided in their lands, each one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.6 The sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan.7 The sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtecha. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.8 Cush fathered Nimrod and he became a mighty one on the earth.9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.11 Out of that land he went forth to Assyria and he built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah that is a great city.13 Mizraim fathered Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim,14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim.15 Canaan fathered 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. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you come to Gerar to Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, even to Lasha.20 These were the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.21 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him children were born.22 The sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.23 The sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.24 Arpachshad fathered Salah, and Salah fathered Eber.25 Two sons were born to Eber. The name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.26 Joktan fathered 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 Their territory+ was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar, a mountain of the east.31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, and after their nations.32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. From these, the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
